OK, so maybe it’s not as big a deal to everyone else, but I’ve been hearing about this figure skating move for years. It always sounds like “sowcow” to me, which I know can’t be the right spelling, and there are so many possible correct spellings I can’t even hazard a guess. And I don’t want to spell it wrong here because I’ll feel like an idiot.
So, the salchow.
To try to make this an actual thread, what other words and phrases have people heard that they don’t know the correct spelling for? Maybe we can help each other ease the embarrassment.
