Here is some more spelling practice for hard-working high school pupils! Amazingly, some of the trickiest words to spell in English can also be some of the most ordinary. 'Basically' is a word you are likely to hear several times a day, but it is also one of the most commonly misspelled words, too (people often misspell it as 'basicly'). Practice, practice and more practice is the answer.
