"Separate" - the only word I remember from 6 years of primary spelling lists - what's yours?

[Nimbostratus100]

I still have to look up "separately" though.

In my defence I left primary school 40 years ago.

We did the usual, spelling given on Mondays, writing a sentence for each word, learn the words, tested on Friday, it feels like I should have learnt more. I remember some of the words that were on the lists I learnt, but not how to spell them

My sons didn't learn spellling lists, their spelling better than mine.

Its a bit sad all that work didn't lead to better spelling for me

Because

About the same vintage as you 😀

Necessary

Yes, it is necessary to wear one collar and two shoes. Occasionally, you can wear two collars and one shoe.

They might have updated that one since we were taught it. They could change collar to coat, perhaps?

Bloody 'judgement' since the teacher insisted it had to be 'judgment' and made me write it out 50 times at break. Still FUMING 43 years later 😤.

Accommodation.

FriEND has END at the END.

And also necessary.

There are paraLLel lines running through the world parallel, and there's a rat in sepARATe.

Electricity

Environment- our little minds were blown to discover there in an 'n' lurking in there!

Diabolical

Genie. The one word I got wrong in the entirety of our year 3 spelling tests.

Notice. You spell it not ice.
I still say that in my head when writing it.

I worked with a senco who spent a long time trying to teach me how to spell necessary, but I always seem to remember it wrong, and end up thinking is it two sleeves and two cuffs? Or something like that

Ive just had to google that one.....

Dont think I have ever in my life got that one right without checking

Desiccated - Mr Simpson, my wonderful English teacher drummed it into us

Stationery/Stationary
E in envelope, A in car!

camouflage

Not one word but " i before e, except after c " helped me through a lot of tests me through

Difficulty

Not even from school though, but the movie Matilda

Back in the 70’s when I was a primary school the teacher would send two kids to the nearby sweet shop to buy a packet of sweets. 10/10 and you got a Spangle. One week my spellings were marked as 9/1 because apparently I had spelled “pantomime” as “dantomime”! My “p” didn’t have a long enough stalk on it. I was incensed and nearly 50 years later am still aggrieved at missing out on my prize.

Beautiful
I still say it in my head as bee-aye-you-tee-ful

Necessary for me too!
