4. Conscious
a. having mental faculties not dulled by sleep, faintness or stupor.
b. personally felt
– Merriam-Webster Dictionary
This is a different case compared to the first three, the word conscious is sometimes misspelled as “concious”. Yes, it is likely to lose its letter “s” before the letter “c”. It is probably because of the sound of the word makes when you say it out loud. It seems that it can stand on its own without the letter “s” before “c” because reading it as concious still gives out the full sound of the word.
5. Curiosity
a. desire to know
b. inquisitive interest in others’ concerns.
c. interest leading to inquiry
– Merriam-Webster Dictionary
This word is a little bit tricky especially for beginners. The word curiosity is commonly mistaken to be spelled as curiousity.

Just remember that whenever you try to use curiosity in a sentence, don’t forget to remove the letter “u”!
