THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE OF THE BOOK
14 July 2026 - IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
On the 8 August 2026, support for the domain for this site will no longer be available, and as things stand I feel I can not support the additional costs of maintaining the www.typicalerrorsinenglish.com website, which is a shame as it has gained some attention among scholars.
​
On the other hand I have not had the time to give it the regular caring maintenance it needs, nor have the funds to pass it on to a more enthusiastic website designer to sort it all out for me, even though requests do keep coming in via my SPAM folders... I wonder why?
​
So I will save my own copy of this and will probably move some of the features to my personal website at roger.hartopp.co.uk.
​
It is entirely possible that this site will continue to exist, perhaps under another, albeit non-memorable domain name, or even as a blogspot page, unless I get some financial support elsewhere to keep www.typicalerrorsinenglish.
​
So sorry about that - I hope it will continue to exist in some form - but just to warn you, it might not be here after Saturday 8 August. But I will still be here at www.rogerhartopp.co.uk.

Everyone is worried about AI. But I’m more worried about with what the other vowels are up to.

Hello and welcome if you are visiting this website for the first time. This is the official website of the book - Typical Errors in English.
​
It is a collection of English language mistakes (usually) made by students studying English as a second language. And even by the occasional native speaker. Often there are no easy explanations as to why they are errors (and the fact native speakers often do the same thing), but TEE will tell you, often in an unconventional and fun way.
​
As well as some examples of errors that are both new and from the book, there are also several other features you will find only here on this site. We have quizzes, extra articles, your questions, grammar queries, cartoons, and links to other useful sites.
​
Like the book, the site does not want to be too serious - after all, English grammar can be a very dull and boring subject, and we want to make it fun with some additional cartoons, jokes and generally funny comments.
​
As regards the book, well, you could shout at your bookshop for not stocking this, but you could get your bookshop to order it, or you can also order it online from many bookshops - the links page mentions some of them. But you can also CLICK HERE FOR A TWENTY-PAGE FREE SAMPLER TO DOWNLOAD!
SPREAD THE WORD
