Spelling the endings et, ot, ate or ite

You skipped the test.

Some of the -ite words are easier to spell than others because, even though the final syllable is unstressed, you can hear the short /ĭ/ sound.

The words which are most often spelled wrongly are:

favourite (US: favorite) and definite

The test which follows will definitely contain those two words!
