How to spell post
What it means: To send something by mail.
In a sentence: I put a letter in the mailbox to post it.
The part people get wrong
Often misspelled as poast or postt.
Same family: position, appointment, role, job, posting. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.
Where it comes from: In this sense, "post" comes from an older meaning of a fixed position or station, from Latin "positus," meaning "placed." Over time, it came to refer to a specific place where someone is assigned to work, and then more generally to a job or official position.
