Spelling
Spelling was the way that words were formed using a combination of letters or symbols.

Some words were spelled with letters that were silent, such as "knife", which had a silent "k". When preparing to greet the Jarada in 2364, Deanna Troi countered Jean-Luc Picard's criticism of the confusing Jaradan language by noting that Humans spelled knife with a "k". Picard explained that he spelled knife with an "n", before adding that he never could spell. ()

In 2367, when attempting to locate confirmation of Dalen Quaice's existence, Beverly Crusher spelled out his last name. ()

Correct spelling of words was often taught in a classroom setting. In 2370, Talur reminded all her students to practice their spelling and arithmetic. ()

In 2372, Benjamin Sisko told his son that the spelling in his first draft of Anslem was terrible. ()

The next year, Nog read Jake's story "Past Prologue" and found spelling errors, including the misspelling of the word "disposal" without the letter "i". ()

Later, when Jake told Doctor Julian Bashir that he was writing a report of the upcoming battle for the Federation News Service, the doctor reminded him that "Bashir" was spelled with an "i". ()
