'separate' (se-parate == take a-part) and its derivatives are perhaps the 
most frequently misspelled English word on clp.  Seems to be 'par' for the 
course.  It has 2 e's bracketing 2 a's.  It derives from the Latin 
'parare', as does pare, so 'par' is the essential root of the word.

My gripe for the day, just to let non-native writers know what not to 
imitate.
