I have noticed a common mistake in use of the suffix 'full'

When you use 'full' as a suffix, one 'l' is dropped. So, the correct spelling is 'beautiful' and not 'beautifull'. similarly with 'plentiful'.

Also the 'y' in 'beauty' and 'plenty' becomes 'i' in 'beautiful' and 'plentiful'

We should be careful in making compound word by use of suffix.
