Oh deer.


The 2017 Scripps National Spelling Bee just ended, and in honor of the event, Google Trends mapped out the “most misspelled words” in each of the 50 states.


The map shows the word that residents of each state Google along with the phrase “how to spell” most frequently…indicating that they’re confused about how it’s spelled.


Google Trends posted the map on Twitter, and this happened…
