Properly, corrrectly or right?

Hi all

Would it be better to say "Spell elephant properly" or "Spell elephant correctly" or "Spell elephant right"?

Thanks.

All are fine, but put 'elephant' into quotation marks or italics: Spell elephant properly/correctly/right. that is, if you are writing it rather than saying it!
