Common Misspellings in Russian (among native speakers of Russian)

[Alina Israeli]

Well, this is not a spelling mistake, this is a morphological issue of long standing. The typical mistakes found even in on-line publications and certainly in blogs are НЕ and НИ, hyphenation especially with the prefix по- (for ex. you can find по-малу instead of помалу, but повсякому instead of по-всякому). One of the most common mistakes is whether to write a soft sign after Т, that is people do not distinguish the infinitive from the 3 p. sg.

Most of the questions are about commas and common misspellings, but there are quite a few on the type of grammar that even our students at the lower levels "get", e.g., one of the latest: "подскажите, как правильно писать: управляющие директоры или управляющие директора?"
