Come join us at the Renaissance Faire, and we’ll fix your inability to spell that word.
One that dogs me all the time is just a typo, but I do it a LOT - reauest for request. My little finger’s just not getting up to the third row to hit the Q.
It’s amazing how you can look at a word over and over again, and it will suddenly look wrong. Last week, I was working on a report about Wi-Fi and other wireless technologies, and the basic thing that makes them all work was giving me fits - radio. It was like “That’s not how you spell radio!”
Ridiculous. I always wanted to spell it rediculous, until someone pointed out that it was based in the word ridicule. That fixed my spelling problem. (at least with that word)
embarassed
hors d’oeuvres (oh shit- I just spelled it right!!! peanutbutterjellytime!)
rediculous
plaigarism
My job is to schedule studnets in the Air Froce.
I finally had to put “students” and “Force” into my auto-correct because I mis-type them every time I type them (which is about 80 times a day!)
I know how to spell them but apparently my fingers do not!
Just remembered another one:
Graffiti
I’ve just about knocked myself out of the habit of putting in a superfluous “t.”
Rhythm. As someone said above, I am so bad at this one Og damned word that I find it hard to even know how to look it up to find out how to spell it. I’ve been making a particular effort lately to get on top of this word (which is the only one that I commonly need to use that ever gives me problems) but it still took me three goes to get it right in order to make this post.
Acess. I hate that frikken word!
When I was little, I used to have a Speak N Spell. To this day I can hear that mechanical voice urging, ''Spell ‘‘rhythm.’’ You are incorrect. Please try again. You are incorrect, please try one more time. The correct spelling of ‘‘rhythm is…’’ AAARUGHGH! (I still can’t spell it.)
My greatest challenge is dissappearred. Disappeared. I try to remember there are two ‘‘ps.’’
I always screw up license and bureau.
Oh, and another bane – exercise, and… exsquisite. Exquisite.
Fucking English.
I consistently misspell consistent (thank goodness for spell-checking)
Restaurateur - because I want to put an N in there and have to forcibly remind myself that it’s kind of a portmanteau of “restaurant” and “auteur.” Not that I need to use this one very often, which probably contributes to the reason I always get it wrong.
Supersede - because it walks up to words like “intercede,” “recede,” and “precede” and punches them in the head. (Apparently Collins dictionary has recognized this one as the most misspelled word in the English language, as reported by an article that manages to Gaudere itself in spite – or perhaps because – of its subject matter, so I guess I shouldn’t feel too badly about this one.)
Many of mine have been mentioned already, but I’ll add –
convenient
convenience
That’s it…I’m moving to England.
I spelled attached with an extra t for years - attatched
maybe a slight hijack - every time I read the word ‘indicted’ I mispronounce it in my head, and know immediately I have done so ( so-and-so has been indickted - crap!)
Comparison
And I always but a ‘u’ in behavior.
And, apparently, a “b” in “put”. 
That’s an acceptable alternate spelling though – another regional thing.
Like “colour,” which is spelled, as it should be, with a U.
Isn’t it cool? I just learned it in the Pit thread and it made me go look it up.
French restaurer -to restore
French gerund says add -ant to root restaurant = restoring
restaurateur = restorer
Me too! I use “work out” instead. (after trying 3 or 4 times and the word continues to look crazy)
