English spelling is not always easy. In English, words do not always sound like they're spelled. In addition, there are many instances of words that sound exactly the same but are spelled completely differently and have totally different meanings. Correct spelling is important to get your meaning across and to be taken seriously and treated as an intelligent person, and this is especially important in academia. Using a search engine that gives context to words that you want to use helps avoid mistakes stemming from spelling issues, and also helps use words in the right context. Online corpora, such as the corpora linked here, may be useful for this purpose. The search engine I use most often for this purpose is ludwig.guru, but it requires registration and only allows a few searches a day if you don't want a paid account. If you have any doubts about your spelling or use of words, I warmly recommend using a corpus or search engine to see how the word is used in other sources. Let your paper shine!
