How Do You Spell Receipt?
We don’t blame you for looking this word up. It has a silent letter (“p”), which makes it tricky. The “p” was inserted to emulate the original Latin spelling, recepta. However, although the spelling rule “i before c, except after c” has many exceptions, receipt actually adheres to it.
