Separate
opportunity - I can never get the right number of "p"s.
Dalmatian.
Ditto separate.
It’s wrong on so many levels.
Tucson
skiing
the double “i” just doesn’t look right
Bourgeoisie
That first “i” always throws me.
Colleagues
Acknowledge - I often misspell it acknowlege
Believe - beleive
Guarantee - gauruntee
Separate - seperate
Similar - simular
Fåtölj. It should be spelled “fotölj”. I’ll never get used to it, and I’m slightly annoyed that I’m wrong. (For you foreigners, it’s a Swedish word.)
focused or focussed. Both valid variants. Neither looks right.
It’s not. (and no I won’t)
I’ll be honest for once - I was fairly certain you had misspelled it, but wasn’t about to say so without checking google!
Judgment. Why isn’t there an ‘e’ in the middle?
Wiener (I always think “weiner” looks better)
Occasionally (I don’t know why I can spell “occasion” just fine, but when I try to think of how to spell “occasionally” I often end up thinking of “occassionally” at first. I don’t know where the extra S comes from.)
It is wrong, everywhere except the US. All those words that Americans end with -ize are correctly spelled -ise in all other versions of English.
Opposite - why are there two Ps?
Autumn - I want there to be an H in this word
Bizarre and Eerie - I want two Zs and two Rs, not two Rs and two Es
embarrassed. Those two r’s just look wrong - there should only be one, dammit!
I think it’s acceptable both ways…and I do use the e.
Occurrence doesn’t seem wrong to me, but it’s probably THE most misspelled word I run into on a regular basis. A lot of people think there’s only one R.
And thanks, Canadjun!
And you also have to do a mental dance as to whether you write ‘bizarre’ or ‘bazaar’, depending on the meaning.
