My turn for a DF-like Question...What words

[Elmorton]

do you have a hard time spelling (or, have to stop and think about when you''re writing them)?

 

[Kaleigh]

These days I just never know what will slip my mind. I have to edit virtually every single post!

 

[Aloros]

Awkward.

It always looks...well, awkward to me.

Me too. And I find myself questioning whether I spelled a word correctly constantly! Then, the more I stare at the word, the more off it looks. So I end up googling to confirm that yes, I spelled it correctly in the first place! Ugh!

 

[platinumrock]

"Whether"...or is it "wether"?

And "tomorrow". I used to spell it with double "m", not double "r".

What makes you think I am a native?

That''s why we call you Storm or Karl. I could never spell your screen name....

 

[musey]

The ones that I use regularly I have no problem with, it''s the ones I''ve used rarely in conversation but never written that I have to double-check with oh-so-useful google!

The only reason I can spell strmrdr''s screen name without checking is that in my head, his screen name sounds like "sturr-murr-durr."

I still can never remember what it''s actually supposed to be. I always have trouble with those license-plate-style abbreviations!!

It''s either storm-raider or storm-rider. I can''t remember which. One is what I made up in my head whenever I read his posts, the other is what he said when explained the meaning behind his SN!

 

[AprilBaby]

disappear

 

[Elmorton]

Mine are receive, field, and separate. Calendar too.

 

[Amandine]

Initiative.

I am currently writing reviews for my staff, and constantly get spell checked on this.

 

[that_someone_special]

I keep dictionary.com bookmarked and have a dictionary app on my iPhone.

I second guess myself and then get all confused. But then, I want to KNOW what it is, so I have to look it up.

When I see that, I think "storm door"... lol strange, I know.

 

[WishfulThinking]

Recipient. I have written it probably two HUNDRED times in the [very long] paper I have been writing for the past few weeks and almost every single time I write it I spell it incorrectly.

I also have issues with "receive" and "Fahrenheit."

My firefox has spell-check, though!

Me too! I have a dictionary.com shortcut on my toolbar. It sits next to Pricescope

I''m really paranoid about my spelling (I''m not native), so it is open pretty much all the time.

 

[redfaerythinker]

receive, calendar, definitely, and maybe a couple others. Thank God I have a mac that spell checks everything I type. It has really improved my spelling.

 

[Steel]

Remember.

I want to spell it rember.

 

[simplysplendid]

necessary

did I get it right?

 

[Phoenix]

Names of medicines. In fact, a lot of medical words have me stumped! I almost always have to google them.

 

[Sabine]

I have issues with restaurant.

 

[Rhea]

Feburary. I mean, February. It just looks wrong. I count on spell check to correct it for me.
