Confusionism/Confucianism: Common Errors in English Usage Entry for Wednesday, March 13, 2013

Confusionism/Confucianism 
This spelling error isn’t exactly an English error, but it’s very common among my students. Confucius is the founder of Confucianism. His name is not spelled “Confucious,” and his philosophy is not called “Confusionism.” When you spot the confusion in the latter term, change it quickly to “Confucianism.”
