Spelling
Infomation or information?
Information is the right spelling. Infomation is a common misspelling of it.
INFOMATION leaves out the R after FO.
Why people write INFOMATION
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.
In + form + ation: keep the R of form.
How often INFORMATION is misspelled
In the web pages Google counted for its trillion-word corpus (Peter Norvig's word counts), INFOMATION appears 1 times for every 1,000 INFORMATION, about once for every 1,000 correct uses.
Is INFOMATION a word?
No. INFOMATION is not in NWL2023, Collins Scrabble Words or ENABLE, the word lists Scrabble and other word games use, so no word game accepts it. INFORMATION is in all three and scores 16 points in Scrabble before bonus squares.
