Actually it's not a word I was just trying to be funny. 😞

I know the correct spelling, but I see the incorrect spelling in print so often that when I write it myself I get confused. It's as if bad spelling is contagious.

separate not seperate.
I used to get that wrong.
Easy way to remember is that when you separate something you are paring it.

Hope that helps.
