Hi, how is it correct?

1. avaiable or available
2. optimized or optimised
3. should or shall


Thanks for your answer.

available
optimize is american, optimise is british
should is past tense, shall is current and future check the responses below

Available
Optimized
Should and shall are not synonyms. Example:

"I shall go to the party" means that you will definitely go to the party. Similar to will.
"I should go to the party" means that you might go to the party.

Ok thanks. But I always wrote avaiable and google translate it correctly. I also find many other sites where people wrote avaiable without the "l".

According to Polish version of google translate, it's incorrect. Might be a bug with the German version

1. avaiable or available
2. optimized or optimised - either one will do
3.
Should means:
- you're supposed to/obligated to do something (I SHOULD do my homework, but I want to finish SOMA)
- indicates that something is probable (Seven hours of sleep SHOULD be enough for me to not feel tired tomorrow morning)

Shall is meant to express intentions (I shall do my homework tonight, I shall also take the dog for a walk) or as future-tense (next week, I shall be in Germany).


I was going to include some other words that I've seen spelled wrong quite frequently by non-native English speakers, but I honestly can't remember the word right now, just that it involves adding an 'i' where there isn't normally one.

Innit....

Rom you sneaky bugger, that's the word!

Okay, so

Definitely - means without a doubt example: "I am definitely not a boy"

Defiantly/Definately - I see "defiantly" more often, probably because it's an actual word. It means to do something with bold disobediance example "after I told him to behave himself, he defiantly ran around the room screaming bloody murder and kicked over the cake"
