I've always thought it's Inspite of .. but somebody told me the correct way of writting it is like this: In spite. Which one is correct?

inspite: even though
eg. She clung onto him inspite of knowing that he was seeing someone else.
in spite: with revenge.
eg. The teacher failed him in spite for his bad behaviour.
Hope that cleared all of your doubts...

How Do You Spell Inspite

The person who said "inspite" is bizarrely wrong! There are more definitions to one word out there, and when you say "in spite of" that is the correct way. She is right, though, that "in spite" can also mean in anger, or more accurately, revenge.

You were right. "In spite" is being in the stage of spite, where "inspite" means you are showing an example (most of the time the opposite of something)

In spite of the fact that you thought it was "inspite," the correct usage is "in spite."

inspite,
because in spite,.. is like saying something out of anger, or scornfully

The correct answer is "in spite" of. Oh, and for the record "writting" should be spelled with one "t" because the "i" before it has a long vowel sound.

"In spite" (two words) is correct. If you want one word, it's "despite".
