Spelling
Assocation or association?
Association is the right spelling. Assocation is a common misspelling of it.
ASSOCATION leaves out the I after OC.
Why people write ASSOCATION
Some letters are barely said, or not said at all, in everyday speech (the N in government, the P in pumpkin), so they drop out when the word is written as it sounds.
Spell the word out loud the slow way, exaggerating every letter ("govern-ment", "pump-kin"), and the missing letter comes back.
How often ASSOCIATION is misspelled
In the web pages Google counted for its trillion-word corpus (Peter Norvig's word counts), ASSOCATION appears 2 times for every 1,000 ASSOCIATION, about once for every 500 correct uses.
Is ASSOCATION a word?
No. ASSOCATION is not in NWL2023, Collins Scrabble Words or ENABLE, the word lists Scrabble and other word games use, so no word game accepts it. ASSOCIATION is in all three and scores 13 points in Scrabble before bonus squares.
What association means
noun: The act of associating.
For example: "he joined the Modern Language Association"
