  MOST MISSPELLED CITIES IN AMERICA
FULL LIST | OTHER TOP TEN LISTS

Pittsburgh
Wichita, KS

What about Wichita?

Our Most Misspelled Cities in America list raised the eyebrows of some ePodunk users who have seen the spelling of their cities mangled in all sorts of creative ways. Here is a sampling of our email:

"I was surprised that Wichita didn't make your top ten list. I've even had my luggage checked to "Witchita" at Washington National Airport."

"I never have been able to spell Worcester or Gloucester correctly. Must have something to do with the way they're pronounced? Ever heard of Nacogdoches, TX? (Nac-o-dough-chez) or Natchitoches, LA (Nak-e-tish)?"

"I have a tip for never spelling the city of Pittsburgh incorrectly again! My mother taught me to spell "Pittsburgh" backwards. It's a rhyme and and goes in a sing-song manner. It's a H and a G and a R U B and a S and a T and a T I P!"

The list also drew attention from hometown media. The Buffalo News fretted that Niagara Falls had acquired yet another problem, while Cincinnati Enquirer columnist Laura Pulfer wondered if the city shouldn't consider a lawsuit.

To suggest other city misspellings, send us an email.
