Posted: 09.17.2002 Speak 'n' spell
So what are words that no matter how many times you try, no matter how old you get, no matter how many times spellchecker thumps you over the head for messing it up yet again, you still can never spell right? For me it's genius (I always manage to type out genious and then correct myself) and weird (that whole i before e thing gets me every time). Yes, I is a colludge grahdewit.
 Yep, you have to remember the i before e... but then remember that weird is weird, so it's backwards. :P ¤ ¤ credit: jana | 09.17.02 at 05:38 PM | link- -this ¤ ¤ yep, i must agree with jana. any i before e except after c word, gets me almost everytime. ¤ ¤ credit: Alteredboy | 09.17.02 at 05:43 PM | link--this ¤ ¤I think they should expand the rhyme from..."as in neighbor or weigh..." to include weird somehow! ¤ ¤ credit: robyn | 09.17.02 at 05:45 PM | link--this ¤ ¤"Definately". That is my word. I know, I know, it's definitely, but I *always* want to put an "a" in there. That is how I hear it, that is how it should be spelled. My mother used to swear that I misspelled it in e-mails just to spite her. I may be mean, but not that mean! ¤ ¤ credit: Christine | 09.17.02 at 05:45 PM | link--this ¤ ¤genius with an 'o' gets me, too. there are a few others, but 'unneccessary' (that's wrong - i know - i don't now how the hell it's spelled) is my worst. even when i look it up, i immediately forget and spell it incorrectly the next time. ¤ ¤ credit: mike | 09.17.02 at 05:46 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Mine is chief. I hate that word. ¤ ¤ credit: Kymberlie R. McGuire | 09.17.02 at 06:06 PM | link--this ¤ ¤I always catch myself singing that stupid song to remember i before e except after C sheesh I need help!!! the words that get me are the ones where you add ing to e words so I never know what ones to keep the e or lose it! ¤ ¤ credit: gnome-girl | 09.17.02 at 06:09 PM | link--this ¤ ¤"That's great...but who are the CHEFS?" ;-) ¤ ¤ credit: robyn | 09.17.02 at 06:12 PM | link--this ¤ ¤i have no "nemesis" word. i'm totally anal about spelling, so i make sure that i spell everything rite... (; ¤ ¤ credit: mikey | 09.17.02 at 06:14 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Mine is "the"... I always spell it "teh" then spellchecker catches it for me... if I bother to use it! ¤ ¤ credit: Stephanie | 09.17.02 at 06:29 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Surprise (it should be surprize, like prize), receive, and unrequited are the ones that tend to stump me! ¤ ¤ credit: Dyanna | 09.17.02 at 07:08 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Weird gets me all the time and I consider myself a decent speller. But I think certain words stump everyone. I had a friend that for the life of her couldn't spell swear. She would always spell it sware, no matter how much I corrected her. ¤ ¤ credit: statia | 09.17.02 at 07:50 PM | link--this ¤ ¤i ALWAYS spell weird wrong, too. it still doesn't make any sense to me why it's spelled that way. ¤ ¤ credit: julie | 09.17.02 at 08:25 PM | link--this ¤ ¤For me it's refridge...refrigerater...refrid... Fuck it...the thing where our beer is. ¤ ¤ credit: todd | 09.17.02 at 08:42 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Necessary. Too much "sss-sss-sss" going on. And susurrous. ¤ ¤ credit: Kim | 09.17.02 at 10:28 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Weird is spelled weird because it's a weird word. And that's one of the words I haven't ever had an issue with, fortunately. ¤ ¤ credit: Christine | 09.17.02 at 11:23 PM | link--this ¤ ¤ridiculous and well, anything else more than four letters stumps me. i r a gewd spellar. ¤ ¤ credit: theresa | 09.17.02 at 11:38 PM | link--this ¤ ¤what gets me is the American spell checks on all the Australian spelling: there's a tonne more, but I'm too lazy and tired to remember them ;) I'm a crappy speller. I know this. Bad luck! ¤ ¤ credit: Jessica Parker | 09.17.02 at 11:54 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Haha, for me, it's the dang double letter ones that have no real reason for two letters ... like broccoli and graffiti. It drives me crazy because other than those few words, my spelling is flawless. I was also scarred for life with "judgment" as a kid - I had an 'e' between 'judg-' and '-ment', and my teacher yelled at me for it. Nowadays, I hear it's perfectly allowed to have an 'e' there. ¤ ¤ credit: ste | 09.18.02 at 12:07 AM | link--this ¤ ¤"seperate" plagued me for years until someone pointed out there is always a rat in sepARATe. I was ecstatic; I no longer had to descibe everything as being torn asunder. ¤ ¤ credit: kellegous | 09.18.02 at 12:46 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Oooh -- I've had the separate problem from time to time as well. Good fix. Thanks! ¤ ¤ credit: robyn | 09.18.02 at 12:59 AM | link--this ¤ ¤effecient; acommodate. And I can't remember whehter I've spelt those right or whether those are my habitual spellings. ¤ ¤ credit: Gert | 09.18.02 at 03:16 AM | link--this ¤ ¤I do the definately/definitely thing too. Drives me crazy. And gorgeous always trips me up. I spell it right at first but then change it because it just looks wrong. I'm all the time misspelling words so badly that not even dictionary.com can figure out what I mean, so then I try to think of a synonym (even that word looks wrong) and find it in a thesaurus. *sigh* And then there's my latest problem - not being able to decide if I want to stick with American or English spelling. Every time I type recognise I wanna slap myself. I'm been talking with too many Aussies lately. God bless Hot Lingo. ¤ ¤ credit: Manda | 09.18.02 at 04:54 AM | link--this ¤ ¤
