For me common spelling mistakes include confusing some of these word pairs.

  • loose vs. lose
  • then vs. than
  • were vs. where

I think they were referring more to a tendency of writing seperat(e, ion, or).

Unfortunately the classification of single words is not so cut and dry:

  • The separator machine uses separation algorithms to separate separate appropriately.
    • separator is an adjective
    • separation is an adjective
    • 1st separate is a verb
    • 2nd separate is a noun
  • source
  • parent
