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.

Lose and loose always confuse me though I think I've worked out a way to remember now.

I always mis-type "advertising" which can be awkward as I work in marketing.

Lasagna or lasagne, I never know which is right.

cess pits are necessary.

Accommodation is just double everything.

Philip Pines is inspured!

I have learnt a foreign language which pronounces every vowel separately, so for me 'niece' to a Spanish ear is pronounced 'nee-eh-thay' (more or less!). Helps me remember that little bugger.

I'm fine with spelling most words except odd ones like diaorroea. And for Caribbean i just shout 'B-B-Bean' in my head, like a stutter

Stripey in Italian lasagna is one, lasagne is plural. See also pizza/pizze, not pizzas. People get all judgy and laugh at those who say 'paninis' when panini is plural already (1 is panino), but fuck about with pizzas.

Meh. Not your language? Don't expect you to use it correctly.

Diarrhoea - used to have a lot of trouble before;

D
I
A
Run
Run
Hurry
Or
Exploding
Arse

Love Philip Pines!

I made up a way of remembering broccoli... I draw a little picture of a long 'l' and lots of little 'c' shaped florets on top so it looks like a broccoli head. One l and many cs.

elQuintoConyo - thanks! I've decided that I'm going to try to remember what you said by using the final "a" in lasagna to mean "alone" and the "e" in lasagne to mean "everyone". I think I can remember it this way. :-)

BROCCOLI - Just remember, Rocco loves broccoli ;)

Weird/Weird. I genuinely cannot tell which one is right

@HarshingMyMellow

We are Weird :p

February. For some reason Febuary just comes more naturally!

Pombear me too with niece. TG for autocorrect

On the other hand, I adore calendar, a perfect word in my eyes. And parallel. 😝

Omelette. I had to rely on autocorrect even then.

Fourty instead of forty.

Is this just a stealth boast about using the word phthalates frequently enough to consider its spelling difficulties?

Caribbean stops me sometimes. For years, I worked in the UK and got used to typing theater and center. It took months to get back into the habit of UK spellings.

^US...

Weird/Weird. I genuinely cannot tell which one is right.

Um...!

Was that deliberate?

Adviser/advisor - I think one is more American but can never remember which and have to look it up every time (I use it fairly often at work).

Inconvenience - I’ve more or less got it now! Again one I use often at work. For a while I used to spell it so badly wrong that autocorrect would occasionally change it to incontinence! That would not have gone down well! “Sorry we didn’t do the thing you told us to do and I’m sorry for any incontinence this has caused”

Diarrhoea - still can’t spell it and often get it so badly wrong that spell check doesn’t help! I briefly learned it while working in a very short temp job where I used it frequently but forgot again as soon as I left.

Separate. I always end up writing seperate.

Surprise, always spell it as suprise

Bitchqueen there's 'a rat' in separate.

Thank you for the diarrhoea mnemonic. That's the one I always have to look up. Usually I'm so wrong that autocorrect can't help.

Glurn, snap!
