Restaurant was what came to mind when I saw the thread. I am pretty sure I've never once gotten it right in my entire life. Thank goodness for spell check.

I get "rhythm" and "tongue" wrong a lot too.

 

[SMOK3Y]

Sign! for some reason I keep thinking it has a h in it 'sighn'

Sheriff - see "professor" above.

Collegues, colleages. colegues. God damn colleagues.

Necessary.. I always put 2 c's

Yep. I even have trouble spelling it when I have autocorrect to help me.

 

[Brofist]

embarrassed

At the very least I always have to think about the spelling for a second before I write it.

Definitely

I always spell it as defiantly for some fucking reason

 

[Chocolate & Vanilla]

How, on this forum, has no one said lose yet?

 

[Zee_truly evil]

Most words that has ie in it. Like friends or cavelier. The order of ie always confuses me for some reason.

 

[John_B]

I always have to break down the words "beautiful" and "business" to spell them.

Address is a pain because in my native language it's spelled with a single d like so: adresse.

[televator]

As a kid, I used to be grade spelling bee champion. Now, as an adult, I'm a spelling chump.

I blame technology. With spell check and autocorrect, I don't have to think about it.

Because the people that misspell lose as loose have no idea they're spelling it wrong. That's not even unique to this forum either. I feel like it's non-native English speakers that use spell-check to keep their spelling on point that make this mistake, but seeing as lose and loose are both proper words it never gets caught. Then again, non-native speakers are generally better at spelling than native ones.

 

[Work of an Enemy Stand]

Crimson.

I can never get it right.

I always write Crinsom or Crimsom at first before getting corrected.

 

[nkarafo]

Environment

Atmosphere


I use these 2 words all the time in the gaming section and i always get a spell check underline for them.

 

[SMOK3Y]

How, on this forum, has no one said lose yet?

Yeah that's probably the most missed spelled/used word I see on here

 

[dafinezt]

Equivalent

I always mix up the a and e at the end.

 

[Imbarkus]

Weopen. Ready your weopen.

Also I both type and write or when I mean of and of when I mean or. I can't help it. I've actually resolved the weopen thing but the of/or thing I can't get rid of no matter how hard I try.

 

[Kadayi]

A bunch. I'm mildly dyslexic, though it tends to manifest mostly is omitting words when I'm writing.

I use the free Grammarly plug-ins for Chrome which I find super helpful.

 

[Militaratus]

I can never spell the town's name of Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch right in one go, so I know your feel.

 

[Walter White Walker]

"Initiative" for some reason I get lost in the middle of spelling. I just had to open a separate tab on my phone to even get it right.

 

[Tcab96]

Genius.

Can never remember when to place the 'I' and 'U'. Even when I typed that I fucked it up. Autocorrect was the only thing that helped me.

 

[JaseC]

How, on this forum, has no one said lose yet?

Some years ago, my local transport authority had to pull an advertising campaign as the "lose" in "Lose your spare change" was misspelled as "loose". Oops.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

I had problems with restaurant mostly because the middle bit. But then I just think of sleepy-bull-ant - Rest-taur-ant. Now I have no problem with it.

 

[CrackPebbles]

I usually have to google it to make sure i'm spelling rhythm correctly.

 

[Lima]

Messechuchets

Fuck that state bro.

 

[pauljeremiah]

"Especially" and "cousin", have no idea why I can't remember the spelling of these words, yet I can spell words like schadenfreude and floccinaucinihilipilification without hesitation.

 

[IrishNinja]

restaruant is a good one, ill never get privilage right either

 

[Maximilian E.]

Unequivocally (thank you auto correct

 

[Pachimari]

Numerous.

Acquaintance.

 

[TheDanger]

queue, I'm never sure and 9 out of ten times I'll spell it wrong. German is my native language and I always aced spelling, I could never fathom how people could possibly make so many mistakes in school, if it's wrong it usually sounds and feels wrong.

 

[gamz]

especially

I gave up and just abbreviate it. Esp.

 

[Jaguar Victory]

Palette - one L, two L's? How many T's - goddammit.
Unnecessary - Same as above. Is it two C's or two S's dammit.
Queue - I get it right but I always have to think about it. Never flows natural.

And now I'm wondering if damnit, damn it, of dammit is the best version...

 

[MKIL65]

Antecedent

If I didn't have a dictionary next to me, I would definetly mess that up most of the time.

 

[Screaming Meat]

Necessary.. I always put 2 c's

It is necessary for a shirt to have one collar and two sleeves. That's how I remember it.

 

[yepyepyep]

Rhythm is the worst word in the English language.

 

[_Nemo]

Always used to write "seperate" and actually thought that was the correct spelling for a while lol

 

[Robot Pants]

Suppose / supposed

 

[Rorschach]

Rhythm and buoy. In fact, I just got buoy wrong while typing it.

Working in Supply Chain and Logistics means my inability to spell Receipt gets tested on an hourly basis.

I before E except after C.

 

[Alastor3]

I always had problem with professor until I watched HIMYM.

 

[gunstarhero]

Definitely definitely.

Never get it right. Thank god for auto correct.

[spekkeh]

Occasionally. Number of Cs Ses and Ns never fail to trip me up. I learnt it by heart now. But if I'm absentminded I'm sure to do it wrong.
