communicatino
One would hope you rarely use these words together, anyway!
I have the same problem with *embarrass * and ocassion. Right now, I’m looking at them and I’m only somewhat confident ocassion is spelled correctly. Well, that or I remembered the wrong way to spell it again.
Referral gives me fits. This is not good when you are a teacher and have to write the word fairly often. At least I can always scare up a discipline referral form to check.
Maintainance. Maintenance. I can never remember which one is right.
Occurring… Ocurring… Occuring? Got me.
All of them.
I used to be a good speller, but then Microsoft Word started marking words on the fly when I got them wrong. This dramatically lowered the attention I pay, apparently, since the only penalty for getting them wrong is having to go back and fix it – there’s not much chance of actually missing the error altogether.
Newer versions of Word replace common misspellings with the corrected version silently! I keep meaning to turn that feature off; there’s nothing worse for learning than not even knowing you got something wrong.
And yes, I had a paranoid moment and had to check the spelling of “misspelling” in this post.
I was having trouble with “occurrence” only yesterday. One C or two? One R or two? I tried all the variations, and it never looked right, and then I started to wonder if it was ‘ence’ or ‘ance,’ got hopelessly muddled, and had to resort to the dictionary.
I have a similar trouble with the internal consonants in “occasion” (And I see that other people do too).
Words that have the vowel combination eu/ue (neutral, pneumonia) also give me difficulty. It doesn’t look right either way.
SKWIRL
Especially the flying kind.
I think that if it is longer that 5 letters I probably spell it wrong. I don’t think I ever passed a spelling test I didn’t cheat on. But on the bright side I did get very skilled at cheating
Spell-check is my friend
Diahr…diha…diarra…diarrhea. I think that’s it.
Frustrated. I always add an extra e in the middle even though I know it’s wrong. I get frusterated. I mean frustrated. Then I couldn’t spell tomorrow for ages, iono how I suddenly got that…
hors d’ouevres (is that right? it doesn’t look right)
reservoir
judgment
and OP
Somehow yours words seem to go together.
restaurant always comes out restaraunt, at best.
Is it a trick that embarrass is spelled wrong in the OP? Have I been whooshed?
I honestly don’t know if they’re spelled right or not. I was just having a moment of frustration with spelling and typed the OP. I didn’t look any of them up. (Still haven’t, been busy.)
That’s the correct American spelling; “judgement” is the British spelling, if I understand correctly. So it’s understandable if you get this one wrong.
Ahh, that explains my confusion. Thank you, Thudlow.
accommodation.
