This is one of the most common spelling mistakes ever.

Let’s take a closer look.

Lightening is the present participle of lighten.

We can for example say:
I was lightening the load on my horse because it was exhausted.

Lightning describes a streak of static electricity through the sky, usually accompanied by thunder.

You got struck by lightning? That must have been a shocking experience!

Lighting is the arrangement of light, especially in photography.

The photo was dull because the lighting wasn’t good enough.


I hope I brought light into the matter and cleared up any confusion.


That’s it for today. See you next time.
