"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

@PartySock my mum taught that rhyme to me must be nearly 50 years ago.

My friend used to be a primary school teacher. She once received a note from a parent which read, “Please excuse James from school. He has dieria diorroea the shits”.
