The ones I always have to think about are fluorescent and millennium. Sometimes rhythm.

I’m surprised about crisps being on here.

Biscuit. I have to spell check it every time!

Broccoli for me too!

Mandatorymongoose · 20/06/2018 22:09

Like Lemon I struggle with "Rhythm " (autocorrect couldn't even work out what I was going for then, had to Google it).

This would be fine but I haved to write it all the time for work. All the time. Still can't work out the Hs and Ys.

amusedbush · 20/06/2018 22:14

Relevant. I usually write relavent first Blush

littlepeas · 20/06/2018 22:15

Clicked on this thread to see if anyone else has issues with broccoli - I am not the only one! Also coriander.

Why does forty have no U

Clutterbugsmum · 20/06/2018 22:25

Most as I’m dyslexic so struggle with spelling.

Although ironically I can normally know when a word spelt incorrectly but couldn’t necessarily tell you the correct spelling.

mamaduckbone · 20/06/2018 22:28

Broccoli 🥦(brocolli?!) and itinerary - I always want to write itinery

SwedishEdith · 20/06/2018 22:29

Separate - have to think of keep things apart to get the 'par' bit.
Occasionally = some writing and rewriting. Same for broccoli - it's that double c.
Gauge and guarantee - have to write out to see if look right.

The one I see everyone mess up is LIAISE. That second i is always overlooked. Particularly in job ads.

FrangipaniBlue · 20/06/2018 22:40

Audi as in the car make because I spent years working in Audit and so literally cannot write it without putting the t on the end!

Not helpful when you've owned four Audi's in your life Grin

I remember 'rhythm' as:

Hips
Moving

Liaise is the one I get wrong often...
