Galery vs. Gallery: The Correct Spellings

In terms of other forms of the word, we have "galleries" as the plural and "gallery's" as the possessive form.

This term has been used since the 14th century and evolved into "gallery" in English. The misspelling "galery" perhaps arises due to the phonetic pronunciation of the word, but it is incorrect.

To remember the correct spelling of "gallery," consider that a gallery usually has two sides or "two l's" that hold the artwork or spectators. Therefore, don't forget the double "l" in "gallery."
