[spekkeh]

diarrhoea

Oh yeah and hemorrhoids.

 

[Addi]

I tend to mix consciousness and conscience so I write conscienceness and then fix it.

necessarily is also difficult sometimes

 

[friskykillface]

Couldn't spell language for the longest time, until my sophomore year of college
Was pretty embarrassing

 

[Monocle]

Cylinder was tricky for a while, but now I've got it. It's easier to remember when you break it into two pieces. Cy-linder.

Diarrhea and broccoli are still tough sometimes.

 

[hockeypuck]

Trendelenburg. It's actually embarrassing.

 

[disco]

Gonorrrhea.

 

[Rookhelm]

Renaissance



Every. Time.

 

[Zakalwe]

OP, you nailed it. Restaurant is my kryptonite (I had to correct it then).

 

[DerekOfTheDykes]

I came into this expecting a heavier roasting over the irony of misspelling "many" in the title. GAF has failed me.

 

[Easy_D]

I noticed that a lot of the double consonant words have the double pair after the first one, so tomorrow necessary, recommend.

 

[mrklaw]

Necessary.. I always put 2 c's

It is Necessary for a shirt to have 1 Collar and 2 Sleeves

Vacuum. One or two C's????

Yeah this gets me most times

Also beuracraucy (pretty sure that's wrong and autocorrect isn't helping me)

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Dissapointed.

That's how I spell it above. I know it's wrong. My brain doesn't give a shit.

 

[Gabbelgak]

Surprise.

Yeah I'm dumb:/

 

[venomenon]

Disaster

It's "Desaster" in German and I always mix them up.

 

[bosseye]

Manouvre. Manouavre. Manoover. Manouvre.

It's fucking manoeuvre I think.

 

[ArgyleReptile]

Restaraunt (actually spelled restaurant) and Silouhuette (actually spelled silhouette).

 

[mu cephei]

I had problems with lieutenant recently (spelled it right there though). I can't remember how to spell a lot of words, but it's the ones where the confusion comes at the beginning, so autocorrect doesn't know how to help, that are the worst.

 

[Wolf Akela]

Usually words with consonants near other that could be single or double. Concession, occasion, recession, etc. I always get confused which letter I double.

There's also bizarre and bazaar. Somehow I combine the two like bizaar.

Oh and definitely vacuum. I also always wrote judgement and harbringer.

I never knew restaurant was that problematic. I've never seen anyone misspell it outside of typos.

 

[LiK]

Convenience/convenient

Autocorrect saved me. Fuck this word.

 

[TheDanger]

Dissapointed.

That's how I spell it above. I know it's wrong. My brain doesn't give a shit.

your brain is pretty badass

 

[Blackpuppy]

Funny, but I keep seeing a pattern of French words keep coming up:

Restaurant
Maintenance
Renaissance
Manoeuvre
Lieutenant

I speak French so pronouncing it in French definitely helps.

Rest-au-rant (this comes from the French verb restaurer which means to restore/bring back up)
Main (hand) tenance (from the verb tenir, which means to hold)
Re- nai-ssance (rebirth)
Man-oeuvre (man from the Latin manus (hands) and oeuvre which means work/labor.
Lieu-tenant (lieu is place and tenant is "holding")

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

I always forget that "everytime" isn't a word.

 

[WPS]

Garauntee. I just don't know where the u goes.

 

[Blackpuppy]

Dissapointed.

That's how I spell it above. I know it's wrong. My brain doesn't give a shit.

Just disassemble the word:

We write "appoint" and not "apoint" right? And the prefix dis has only one s like dis-cover or dis-endow

So put the two together and you have dis-appoint

 

[zelas]

For achievement I always spell it out like "achievey" + ment

Whensday is so tricky for me that I now say it phonetically like wed-ness-day.

I thought it was just me but I guess all humans are weird lol. I definitely had to adopt the Wednesday helper years ago.

 

[ElectricKaibutsu]

He various forms of occur: occurrence, occurs, occurring, etc

 

[Miles X]

Necessary.. I always put 2 c's

First post!!

I remember now by thinking the C comes before S. 'Neck'

 

[Lev]

Genuine fucks me up a lot.

 

[old]

Restaurant
Surprise
Guardian
Guarantee
Rhyme
Rhythm
Mid evil

I actively avoid those words if spell check isn't available.

 

[ERotIC]

Miluwakee?

Milwuakee?

 

[RuinerPrime]

"Schedule"

Don't know why I can't remember it. I always spell it wrong.

It's not the only one (there are a lot) but it's the first one that comes to mind.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

Siccors

 

[Violet_0]

ridicules =/= ridiculous

every damn time, and I use it a lot too. It's ridicules

 

[Dangerblade]

Odyssey
Correspondence

Not looking them up or using autocorrect...I think those are right

 

[whitemex88]

It is Necessary for a shirt to have 1 Collar and 2 Sleeves

 

[manakel]

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.

This.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Probably too many at this point. I let the internet sort it out.

 

[Lord Azrael]

Restaurant used to be one of these for me, but I trained myself.

Res - like a resurrection in Overwatch.

Tau - like Taurus, the astrological sign.

Ant - like the little bastard who gets into your pantry.

Restauant lol? Why not use the word "rant" to remember the last part instead?

 

[cheebdragonite]

Uh... diarrhea. I tend to mix up the letters h and r, like so: 'diahrrea' or 'dhiarrea.'

 

[Durden77]

I got you, OP.

God dammit, well it's perfect. Thanks manny much


Some people have got some crazy and neat spelling tricks in here. Necessary is one of mine too, so I'm definitely using the 1 collar and 2 sleeves thing. It's helping already!
