What word can you NEVER spell? Even if you're good at spelling

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

Embarrassing
Calendar

Oh how bizarre (that's another one).

I had literally just typed

Embarrassing
Calendar

And scrolled up before clicking post to see this message.

I also always mistype likely as likley. I do know how to spell it though.

Chrysanthemum. I have to really think about it.

I don't have to write/type it often, if at all, though 😂

Oh come on. NOBODY can spell crysanthimum.

Anything with ei or ua in. Like their and guardian! I get confused about the order in which the letters should be! Thankfully auto correct saves the day most of the time 😁

Diarrhoea
Haemorrhage
Necessitating

Had to look all of them up

Still need to check myself with Bureau and Beautiful

Verucca. Verruca.

Aarghh.

Jewellery and restaurant (and I have an English degree.)

I am phenomenal at spelling but I cannot spell seize reliably.

Opportunity...or is it oppurtunity?

Decision...had to check it here. It just never looks right.
I'm a good speller but can never ever spell that word.

kookit · 12/03/2024 20:26

Definitely and necessary (thanks autocorrect for always saving me!)

The second month of the year

What, you mean ‘Febuary’? 😂 I always miss the ‘r’ out.

JiraffDeSaki · 12/03/2024 20:30

Parralel...parallell...paralell...paralell...ok now even my autocorrect can't help me.

Also, algorythm. Algorithm. That's it.

Beaurocracy... beurocracy? My phone isn't even giving me a clue.
It's the only word I cannot spell no matter how many times I see it written down, my brain is just 'nope'.

itsalwaysthesame · 12/03/2024 20:37

Exercise, Restaurant, Diarrhoea not in that order 🤣 I had to speak to type to get correct spellings

MintyCedric · 12/03/2024 20:41

Gauze…I’m fine when I hand write it but if I’m typing at speed I always get the a & u the wrong way round, which is trying as I work in school medical room and have to type it a lot!

ladygindiva · 12/03/2024 20:41

I struggle with "rhythm". Not good for a music teacher 🤣 I think I'm thrown by the lack of vowels!
