Which of these words is spelled correctly: Carribean, Caribbean, Carribean, or Caribean?
If you can pick the right answer from the ones given in the question in less than a second, you probably aren't bad at spelling. Even if you don't answer the question, I won't say you are terrible at it. The truth is that many people find the spelling of the word too hard to handle.
Whether it's a country or a race, it's hard to know if it should have one r or double and one b or double. Some of us may have looked it up online, but the easy answer is that the word has one r and two bs: Caribbean.
It is one of the names of countries or groups of people that can be hard to say. So, watch the spelling of this and the other cases I'll give. For example, is football player Suarez from Uruguay or Argentina? Or an Uroguan? Uruguay is the name of the country, and Uruguayan is the name of the people who live there. Link that to Myanmar, Montenegro, Seychelles, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, etc.
Every time you have to write the names of countries, you need to double-check your spelling.
There are also some countries in Africa with strange names. Our dear "Ghana" is easy to name, but the question of whether someone is Ghanaian, Ghanaian, Ghanian, or something else makes it interesting. It's tempting to say "Ghanaian" and then write it the way it sounds. This is wrong because the right word is Ghanaian, which means "Ghanaian." So, know that it is not a Ghanaian but a Ghanaian.
Even Niger Republic needs to be patient. Because the name sounds a bit like Nigeria, people sometimes get them mixed up. This is so bad that Nigerians, who are used to writing their name the way it sounds (Nigerians), still write "Nigerian" when they should write "Nigerien" for their brother from the Niger Republic.
Lastly, be careful with the names of countries like Sierra Leone and Cote d'Ivoire that have a French link.
