AIBU to ask which word you always spell wrong

[ConfusedWife1234]

Or do not know if you spelled it right.

For me it is ptahalates, phyrric victory to, thousandth. I hoped a spelled them right now.

I completely agree re: Granddad!
My Dad has always preferred this spelling, for the reasons you gave. I never find 'Granddad' on cards in the shops, so often have to order them online.

Embarrass/ing/ed.

40 - I always have to check if it's forty or fourty.

I also always confuse practise and practice - not very good for a solicitor with her own practise/ice!

Redundancy could never type it correctly although always right if handwritten, used to get an extra n, I was an HR Director!

Questionnaire

Psychological, psychic

I always add an unwanted H in there

For those of you who struggle with diarrhoea (as it were! ) I recommend:

Died In A Rolls Royce, Having Over Eaten Again

Guarantee

Diarrhoea, harassment, embarrassment, eczema

"Philippines, that actually got me too"

Yes, also Caribbean.

Broccoli. Brocollli?

"Spelt and spelled are both correct, as are learnt and learned."

Yes, but to add some nuance, Americans don't used the lt/nt endings, only the -ed ones so some people see the -lt and -nt endings as 'more British'.

Accelerator and lieu. No idea if I've spelt them right.

I have a book that I got in school called 30 Days Hath September. It has ways of helping you remember such as there is definitely no A in definitely and Diarrhoea Do I Actually Run Run Home Or Else Accident.
I saw this on Facebook i before e except when you run a feisty heist on a weird beige foreign neighbour

Embarrassed. Not sure that's even right.

Diarrhoea too, if I'm tired I always forget how to spell it. I'm usually tired because I've been up all night shitting through the idea of a needle when I need to spell it though.

“Experience” I always want to put a instead of e sometimes I do & attach I have to stop myself putting an extra t

Looking at the word Philippines immediately I see it as two words Philip Pines so I will always remember how to spell it. Never have had to before but since this thread you never know.

I'm good at spelling, apart from 2 words... exercise, which I used to be able to spell until we did French, after which I was always doubtful...

The other word is too outing to say because it's my job title and my work. I haven't once been able to get it right, in years and years. I actually do know how to spell it, I’ve just never been able to type it and get it correct.

I before e is absolute bollocks, there are more words that are exceptions. Does no one watch QI?

Stationery. Have to remember it has 'e' for envelope.

Umbrelala was a favourite when I was a kid.

Effect/Affect....never know which one to use!!

@Tallyhooo

This may help you. It explains the difference and uses the "Raven trick" to help you remember in future.
