I am good at spelling. Can do really long words. But two words I can never spell, no matter how hard I try:

Brocolli and cappucino

Manoeuvre. It just doesn't stick in my brain!

ALWAYS diarrhoea.
Took me a couple tries then and I only just saw the word up this thread!
Problem is the autocorrect doesn't even come on because I get it so wrong every time 😅

Definitely Me too!
I am often defiantly attending meetings.

Doesn’t It Run Really Horribly Over Each Ankle = Diarrhoea

Thank me later 🤣🤣

Mine is liaison. Which is annoying, considering I worked in liaison for years! I had to keep looking at my work pass 🤣🤣

JustRollWithIt · 12/03/2024 19:03

Liaise

Diamondshmiamond · 12/03/2024 19:03

Grey. I always write it then think should it be gray?

Corridor I often misspell as Coridoor.
Calendar as calander.

Misspelling on a keyboard is hard though due to auto correct!

TeabySea · 12/03/2024 19:03

I always have to check I've spelled weird correctly. I am generally good at spelling but that one always catches me out.

Diarrhoea Is A Really Runny Heap Of Endless Amounts 😃
