We all have words we keep forgetting on how to write. So grateful for Google to help me out in my times of need ;)

What are some of yours?


I'll start out:

Misspell (Oh, the irony.)
Disappoint
Nerve-racking

There's probably more, but only those 2 I can remember
 
In English? Many... can't even begin to write them down...

In Portuguese... not sure... writing is part of the job... so I'm usually that annoying friend who is always poiting out mistakes and fixing people's writtings... hehehehehe
 
I misspell weird and their...
Because in 2nd grade I was told "I" before "E" except after "C"...

Yup, those are the other two.

Exaggerate is another one. I always double the "r's" instead of the "g's"
 
Basically anything with ie or ei in it, I have written words with these two letters countless times yet can never seem to get it right and a lot of times I have a brain fart and cannot spell simple first grade words and so in great annoyance I look it up on google and end up slapping my forehead
 
I dont mispel wurds. Evr.

Except for occasionally/occasion. I always forget how many 'C's and 'S's are in it.
 
Pretty much anything that I can't obtain spellcheck for. If it weren't for spellcheck, you would probably see more misspellings than normally encountered by me on the forums.

-- Most words that have a C before an IE (because that rhyme about I before E, except after C is only true sometimes.) Worse yet, this is what my misspells look like:
conceieve, receieve, etc.

-- Melchizedek! (Well, I couldn't spell his name right for three months anyway. lol)

-- There, they're and their. I know what each means and how to spell them, but I tend to mentally choose the wrong one more often than I choose the right one.

-- embarrass or harrass, but mostly if I spell one right and then need to spell the other soon after. (How come one has two R's and two S's, but the other one doesn't?)

-- Moyamensing and Schuylkill (both spelled right there.) Not a big deal, unless you live a few houses away from Moyamensing Street, and the Schuylkill River divides the city you live in and is also an expressway to travel north-south through that city.

Worse yet, I have aphasia, so at any moment I can use a word that sounds like another word, but has nothing to do with the other word. If you watch carefully, you can sometimes see me write Why, when I meant While, Divide, when I meant Dive, or Operations, when I meant Options. lol

If I slapped my forehead every time I misspelled, my forehead would be indented. lol
 
I have to check on my dictionary everytime i write "tomorrow". I am confused between "tommorow" and "tomorrow"
And now i am checking my dictionary again :p
 
So far this week the word I am having trouble spelling is otorhinolaryngologist, let's just say I have done a lot of erasing in my medical terminology homework. Ugh. At least I am a third of the way done.
 
If it weren't for spellcheck. I could start a whole new language. My grammar is even worse. I am to old to care anymore.

(1st instances are the correct ones; 2nd are my specialties :p ))

judgment/judgement (even the spell check liked the 2nd one although it is wrong)

maneuver/manuever

occurrence/occurrance

And they don't just let you call them ENT doctors or ears-nose-throat doctors? It's not our fault they picked such a long specialty. :(
