E-Lecture - Foreign language

A misspelling in English might be made by someone used to a different spelling in another language, for example, ‘address’ is translated ‘adresse’ in French and German. Many Spanish words are similar or identical to English words, but with an ‘n’ inserted or replacing an ‘m’, leading to errors: ‘inmigrant’ from ‘inmigrante’, ‘cementery’ from ‘cementerio’, ‘confortable’ instead of ‘comfortable’.
