Hard-to-spell words

I remember being tripped up by “parallel” back in grade school. Why the heck doesn’t it end in the double-l like it should? It’s just a dumb way to spel it.

I don’t even know what word this is supposed to be; definition, please?

The dog breed or mountains.

Liaison

That i-a-i combo just doesn’t look right

Subpoena
Non-sequitur
Balustrade

Some of the words already mentioned are ones I occasionally have found myself thinking about before I spell it – and I still get some of them wrong. :slight_smile:

Y’all are doing a fabulous job with these – how about a few more geographical ones? We’ve got Tuscon, Philippines, Pyrenees – I’d throw in Cincinnati and Albuqueque – any others?

And are there any names you find particularly tricky?
