I'm one to check my spelling when I'm not 100% sure. Which is a lot. Don't judge! I've never been a great speller... sad face. But at least I try an look up the correct spelling then it leads me to read whole definition of it. Even tho I already knows what it means... thanks for posting this up by the way. Very helpful to a lot of people.

Surely I'm not the only person in the past year and a half to misspell fluctuate as fluxuate and Google it? <br />I decided to be a slacker no more and at least leave a comment so other new comers will not feel so bad.

I swear my online course spell check had it in for me and did not want me to complete my assignment on time. Then reality set in and I realized that my online portal does not have it out for me and I must be spelling this word incorrectly. Then I head over to the old faithful "Google" and find that I am just one in a very long list (dating back to 2008) of relatively educated individuals who had no idea there is not an "X" in fluctuate. <br /><br />And, the cherry on top...when I looked at the word spelled correctly, it made sense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13388361.post-60642457016311994402010-07-16T08:47:52.858-07:002010-07-16T08:47:52.858-07:00ditto. wow.ditto. wow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13388361.post-19905740722214582892010-07-15T22:21:13.908-07:002010-07-15T22:21:13.908-07:00Ha!

Seeing as how many people misspell this word so commonly, there should be some slight changes in dictionaries. Maybe we should all have a chat with Webster..BUT, before we do, lets take a moment, to grasp sensation...What am I talking about you say? Well, I'm in a delightful shock, seeing as how this beautiful blog has lasted since 2008, and it is steady receiving people who misspell such a simple word(including me) HAHAHA!!!<br />Later fellow misspell-ersChase Moehlmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01248403754518632041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13388361.post-16851384156979905282010-06-10T20:05:28.435-07:002010-06-10T20:05:28.435-07:00If I had a dictionary at work, I'd use it.

But since I don't know how to spell the word, I would not find anything under FLUXUATE and I don't know how long it would take me until I thought of trying FLUCTUATE. Of course, if I used a dictionary I would not have spent time reading this blog and leaving this comment. So in the end not sure which is faster.
