Commonly confused

unparallel
EN: 'Unparallel' is a rare/non-standard form; 'unparalleled' is the established adjective meaning 'having no equal.'
unprecedented
EN: 'Unprecedented' means 'never done or known before' (about events); 'unparalleled' means 'having no equal' (about quality or degree).

Spelling tips

EN: Remember that 'parallel' contains a double 'l' in the middle (para-ll-el), so 'unparalleled' retains that double 'l'. Do not add an extra 'l' at the end.
