Cleanse your mental colon(and semi-colon) of spelling blockage.

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?

Occasionally. I can never remember how to spell that one. It leads me to say “from time to time” and “once in a while” a lot when I write emails.

Tomorrow… I have the hardest dang time spelling tomorrow. I’m not even sure if I’m spelling it correctly now.

Of course, a little while back I posted my misspellings list. ((If I can find it, I’ll post a link to it.)) A Word document I keep open just so I can type words into it to see if I’m spelling them correctly… I’ve used it twice already today. :slight_smile:

I tend to spell it “neccessary” and “excersise” when I’m not paying attention. Maybe I just like the letter “C”.

I have problems with a lot of words…the way I do it is, i type it out and then look at it to see if it “looks right”; if it doesn’t, I fiddle with it until it does.

I do this even with words like “their” and “friend”.
