Bad day?

CaramelLatte · 20/04/2013 11:05

Thank you, I always seem to get this one wrong, now it is firmly wedged in my brain.

LadyMountbatten · 20/04/2013 11:05

I always spelt it as 'definately' before I got a spell check on my firefox.

If you don't know it's wrong how can you know to check your spelling?

LadyMountbatten · 20/04/2013 11:08

God I get confused with tomorrow and all sorts so I GET IT.

But this one gets me riled.

The other one I do a secret snidey snurk at is when people ask about " Independant" schools.

Obv think " lady, if you can't spell it, are you sure it is right for you and yours"

I KNOW, straight to hell.

The crazy thing is I've actually had people try and tell me I'm spelling it wrong. "It's 'definately.'"" Sigh.

Trapper · 20/04/2013 11:09

I find that it helps to say it with a South African accent.

TequilaMockinBird · 20/04/2013 11:10

Grin 'Defiantly' is my favourite misspelling.

reelingintheyears · 20/04/2013 11:15

Not nessessaraly.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 20/04/2013 11:22

It is also TONSILLITIS
and CYSTITiS

Not 'Tonsillitus'

noisytoys · 20/04/2013 11:22

I always say it as de-finite-ly when I'm spelling it because if I say it like that, I will spell it correctly

Salmotrutta · 20/04/2013 11:25

I'm very glad I never have occasion to write desiccated very often!

Gets me every time!

usualsuspect · 20/04/2013 11:26

Have a medal

Salmotrutta · 20/04/2013 11:26

I always want to put two "s" in...

HollyBerryBush · 20/04/2013 11:27

Rediculous is the one that gets me.

Viscous rather than vicious

Discusting

Salmotrutta · 20/04/2013 11:28

People do tend to write "discusting" on here as a joke though Holly

StorFetHamster · 20/04/2013 11:39

I hate it when people spell dependent as dependant. Or vice versa. Dependent (dependent in something/relying on something) and dependent (as in a person like a child is a dependant).

StorFetHamster · 20/04/2013 11:40

Eurgh see- spell check did it for me.i got it wrong Blush

Tbf...I couldn't care less really, as it's not important overall, but my mistake there got on my nerves as an example.

I TOTALLY agree with the thickos who write independant re schools. If their children are as dim a bulb as the parent who spells like that perhaps they need fhe benefit of smaller classes and more attention. Grin

LadyMountbatten · 20/04/2013 11:42

Vicious is hard though I think.

Viscous is Calpol

OP posts:
PipkinsPal · 20/04/2013 11:42

That's rediculus (sic). I will now use the word definitely because it was one of those words I was not sure about and would not use in fear of making myself look a twat. I do know how to spell ridiculous though Grin

Gerrof · 20/04/2013 11:42

I love spelling it discustimg.

LadyMountbatten · 20/04/2013 11:43

Okay gerroff ;)
