100 MOST OFTEN MISPELLED MISSPELLED WORDS IN ENGLISH

THE NEVER-ENDING ROAD TO CAVALRY: Via Popwatch, an alleged list of the 100 most-often misspelled words in English.

See, related, this immense list of common errors in English usage (e.g., "throws of passion", censor v. censure v. sensor v. censer, imply v. infer.)

TIME TO CALL THE SLAYERS: In a war of two cultural phenomena on iTunes, vampires currently lead Barack Obama. "Decode," the lead single off the Twilight soundtrack (which sounds to me like cut-rate Evanesence), is currently at #14, while will.i.am's "It's A New Day" tribute single is at #20 (and scores "awful rhyme of the year" consideration for attempting to rhyme "hummin'" with "Harriet Tubman"). High School Musical 3 continues to overall dominate, with 5 songs in the top 100, though the newly New Yorker approved Taylor Swift has 4.

A MOJO. IT'S A VERY HIGH-TECH MACHINE THAT TRANSMITS PAGES OVER THE TELEPHONE. IT ONLY TAKES 18 MINUTES A PAGE! Believe me, I'm not saying this to complain, but it seems like one of the Cinemax channels is now airing Almost Famous just about every night this month.

Do I adore this movie? Yes. (Who doesn't?) The things I didn't appreciate upon first viewing, though, was just how luminously Kate Hudson was shot and what a remarkable Manic Pixie Dream Girl she is; how much Cameron Crowe wanted to pen a valentine to his mother; and the awesomeness of Billy Crudup's facial reactions during the "Tiny Dancer" sequence.

Trivia: Natalie Portman and Kirsten Dunst auditioned for Penny Lane and failed; Sarah Polley was signed for the role first before deciding she just didn't want to do a big Hollywood film. Jack Black auditioned for Lester Bangs, as did Jon "not the speechwriter" Favreau. Brad Pitt was signed to play Russell Hammond before admitting to Crowe, after months of preparation, "I just don't get it enough to do it."

I'VE LEARNED A FEW THINGS ABOUT SEX -- I DO NOT LOOK GOOD IN A HELMET, CABBAGE IS YUMMY, AND RUSSIAN WOMEN PUNCH MUCH HARDER THAN THEIR HUSBANDS: Do you need advice or information? Are you a pervert? Can you accurately be identified as "Confused in [a geographic area]"? If so, you should write to 2Hot Girls in the Shower. Sort of safe for work, though you may want to keep the volume low.

(I know this is old, but it occurred to me that I hadn't checked in on them in a while and I got to giggling over the early stuff again.)

HE'S NOT EVEN THE WINNER AMONG PEOPLE WHO WON BUT DIDN'T WIN: Haven't we heard this before already? From Deadspin, the strange story of a half-marathon runner who missed a turn and accidentally won the whole-marathon, but was disqualified from both as a non-finisher in the former and a non-entrant in the latter.

Marathon runners have weirdly low opinions of their talents.

A VOICE FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T BOOK CLIENTS: With only four pictures remaining in Tyra's hand -- said photos (and technically, there were eight) representing the ladies still in the running to becoming America's Next Top Model -- now's a pretty good time for us to review the show again. Last night's ouster was both inevitable from a narrative perspective and deeply disappointing -- yes, we all know by now that if you don't change the way Tyra wants you to, you're going home, but this resulted in eliminating someone who made both for consistently great television and great modeling.

Also, where did McKey's new accent come from?

WHERE'S MY QUAD-TUNER? OK, what's sure to get the fanboys and fangirls riled up about Fox's new midseason schedule is that Joss Whedon's Dollhouse is getting pushed into the same Friday death slot that led to the demise of Firefly. Honestly, not that significant, since I'm sure there'll be a DVD set, and it's something to TiVo on Friday. But moving House to Mondays at 8, against HIMYM, Chuck, and Gossip Girl? That's just cruel. (Though you have to assume NBC is moving Chuck at some point.) Also of note?

• Idol stays Tuesday-Wednesday, but all results shows will be a full hour. More Seacrest!
• Bones gets pushed to Thursdays at 8.
• Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles joins Dollhouse for a sci-fi burnoff Friday extravaganza.
• Prison Break is on an indefinite hiatus. (At least until Dollhouse gets cancelled.)
