Special #6:  Commonly Misspelled Words

The correct spelling of 15 commonly misspelled words are hiding across, down, backwards, and diagonally in the grid.  However, it's up to you to figure out which is the correctly-spelled word in each pair of words in the word list first!  The remaining letters will spell out two related quotations.  The idea of this puzzle came from Encarta.msn.com, where you can take their spelling quiz, get homework help, and much, much more.  Print out and enjoy!
