I know there have been five quintillion (ok, four) threads about deficient spelling, punctuation, and so forth. Maybe this is slightly different. Anyway I’m tired of searching and besides I’m only supposed to go back how many days, now? Ah fergit.
I have a word that won’t stay spelled correctly in my resemblance to a brain. And that word is OCCUR. (I looked it up. Again). Every time I want to use it, I have to think; two cs?, two rs?, two of each, one of each? By then, nothing seems right and I have to look it up in a seething rage, vowing never to forget it again. Right.
Do you gots any dem words what you cain’t dismember?
I want to include punctuation too, because I Waterloo on that, muchly.
I did find out one interesting thing while searching, though. The word “gullible” isn’t in the dictionary. That was a thread title by chique, who at the time had 1,236 posts, way more than me, so I didn’t bother looking it up. She should know.
Minor bitch: I looked up the word “woken” which I was hoping wouldn’t be a word, but it was. To say,“I was woken up by a chain saw” sounds illegal to me. Shouldn’t it be,“I was awakened by a chain saw.”?
Anyway, my synapses take sy-naps when the word occur occurs. What words and punctuation bedevil you?
