Tricky Ending

How do you spell confusion? ...Is it confution? confucion? confucian? And how do you spell genius? ...genus? genious? geneous? It doesn't take a spelling genius to clear up the confusion. It just takes some practice with the tricky endings that confuse spellers. Practice spelling words that end with there:

ion    tion    sion    cian    tune   us    ious    eous    ius    uous


Look at the words below.

portion, tradition, commotion
magician, musician
decision, confusion, transfusion
dictation, prevention
cushion,
fortune
marvelous, dangerous, jealous
cactus, circus, focus
contagious, vicious, tremendous
courteous
genius
conspicuous
