The misspellings

Quick searching - click the links for search links. Only works on single words.

Acherus: Archerus
Adamantite: ...don't get me started.
Aggro: Agro, Argo
Ahn'Qiraj: Anh'Qiraj, Anh'Quiraj, Ahn'Quiraj
Alliance: Allience
Arcatraz: Alcatraz
Aspect of the Pack (AKA 'Pack'): Aspect of the Pact
Attumen the Huntsman: Attunement, Attunemen
Balance: Balence
Bestial Wrath: Beastial Wrath
Blackfathom Deeps: Black Fathom Deeps, Blackfathom Depths, Black Fathom Depths
Blackrock Depths: Black Rock Depths, Blackrock Deeps, Black Rock Deeps
Burning Steppes: Burning Steps, Burning Steeps
Capital: Capitol
- A capitol is a building that houses a legislative assembly, not a city.
Cenarion: Cenarian
Coilfang: Coifang
Consecrate: Consencrate, Concentrate, Concecrate
Darnassus: Darnasus
Draenei: Dranei, Draenie, Draenai
Deceiver: Deciever
- Kil'jaeden the Deceiver hates it when you don't spell his title right.
Drakkisath: Drekkisath
Durnholde: Durnhold
Dwarves: Dwarfs
- According to the American Heritage Dictionary "Dwarves" and "Dwarfs" are both proper pluralizations of "Dwarf".
Enchanter: "chanters" wear bloomers, flail pom-poms, or wield a bullhorn, and repetitively shout rhymes and phrases for inspirational or informative purposes. (see also: Summoner) If you can't type out those two extra little letters, you're a lazy pugging noob scrub. Adding an apostrophe ie. " 'chanter " is pushing it.
Exalted: Exhalted, Exaulted
Exodar: Exador, Exedar
Elves: Elfs
Felhunter: Felhound (people usually confuse the two)
Feral: Ferel
Feralas: Fearalas, Ferals
Flamegor: Flamegore

Gnomeregan: Gnomergan, Gnomeragan, Gnomeragon
Gruul : Grull
- eg. Grull's Lair, Grull the Dragonkiller
Gryphon: Griffon
Highborne: Highbourne, Highborn
- Highborn is the proper spelling in English; the standard Warcraft spelling is highborne, though this makes little sense since 'borne' usually means 'held up or supported' whereas 'born' usually indicates origin or birth. So highborn means high-birth and highborne means high-supported. It might work with some crazy logic. (I am sorry to say this, but whoever wrote this nonsense obviously has no idea of proper English. Without any 'crazy logic' it is immediately evident, that they were called Highborne for the exact reason that makes 'little sense': they were, in fact, held in high regards, or 'borne' high because of their magical powers).
Hippogryph: Hypogryph, Hyppogryph, Hippogriff
Horde: Hord
Infernal: Infernel
Kael'thas: Keal'thas
Karazhan : Kharazan, Karazahn, Karazan

Mankrik: Mankirk
Maraudon: Maruadon, Mauradon
Menethil: Menithil, Minithil, Menthil, Manethil
Misspelling: Mispelling

Scholomance: Scholomanse, Scolomance
Shaman: Shamen
- The plural of shaman is shamans. See Shaman Spelling.
Shattrath City: Sharttrah City, Shattrah City
Shadow Labyrinth: Shadow "Labs" makes no sense whatsoever. Typing "Shadow Labs" automatically brands you an idiot.
Silithus: Sithilus, Silthus
Steamvault: Steamvaults
Stockade: Stockades
- A Stockade is a prison, in this case, pluralizing it means that you would have more than one prison.
Tabard: Tabbard, Tabberd, Taberd
