legov Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Like everyone else I make mistakes from time to time, but I seem to always learn from my mistakes when it comes to spelling I rarely misspell the same word more than twice. Last two I can remember misspelling were "goddess" and "accommodation" - spelt the first as "godess" and the second as "accomodation" Oh who cares right.

leemond2008 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I know I make a fair few mistakes when posting on here but that is mainly down to using my phone but I am generally very good with my spelling. One of my little useless talents is being able to spell difficult words from the top of my head. The one word that I can never ever spell though is enough, I always put enouph for some reason I think I slip up with shorter words through laziness more than anything but I'm a bit autistic when it comes to long difficult words.

Awol Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Manoeuvre. The word is French in origin and so intended to catch out the unsuspecting Englishman.* * That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa_chemist Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I always have to pause and think before spelling nucleus/neutron. I can never remember which one starts "neu". Wouldn't necessarily be a problem in everyday life, except for the fact that I'm a Chemistry teacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumerican Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 My spelling is usually pretty good and if I am wrong it's usually a typo. My grammar on the other hand is abysmal and I usually just put commas in when I think I have gone too far without using one. My problem is that I don't write enough and have forgotten most of my grammatical education. I can spell quite difficult words through intuition though .

Yep, get that feeling quite often these days as well after almost 2 years out of school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Across. It never looks right. I have that problem with eight and eighth. I think it's the 'hth' that just looks odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I have problems with words like 'occassionally', 'professionally', 'tomorrow' and the like. Words that have double letters in them. I get confused as to where the double letters should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 The double letters are a problem for me too. Especially in english. There never seems to be any logic behind it. But I can hide behind being swedish. I'm quite good at spelling in swedish, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like words with 'phth' in them because they look odd. e.g. Ophthalmic, diphthong, phthalic, diphtheria etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Tariff. Again, it's the old English thing of where the double letters should be put. I always used to struggle with necessary too until somebody on here made it into an acronym for me. Never eat celery eat sausage sandwiches and remain young if you were wondering.
