Common mistake Word contains a ligature

Word contains a ligature

The word '\1' contains a ligature (joined letters). Modern English does not usually use ligatures. A ligature in a word causes a spelling error. If the word is an English word, write it with standard characters.

For example, the word "aesthetic" is commonly misspelled as "æsthetic" with the ligature "æ". Using the ligature in this case is incorrect in modern English, so it should be spelled as "aesthetic".
