In "Flowers for Algernon," Charlie Gordon misspells several Words, reflecting his initial low intelligence. Some notable misspellings include "definitely" (misspelled as "definately"), "receive" (as "recieve"), "separate" (as "seperate"), "embarrassment" (as "embarassment"), and "intelligence" (as "inteligence"). These misspellings highlight his struggles with literacy before his intelligence is artificially increased. The evolution of his spelling also mirrors his cognitive development throughout the story.
