derekfaejapan Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Same trouble every year as I can never spell this fvcking word at the first attempt. It also doesn't help that I'm an English teacher! I had to double check the spelling and write it on the board before my students came into class this morning. What words usually catch you out when it comes to spelling them correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 The English language has some really stupid spelling in it. No wonder folk get confused. The American language at least tries to simplify some of the spelling by spelling the way it sounds. I don't think I know anybody who actually says it as "FebRuary". Everybody I know just says "Feburay". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMcoolJ Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 For some reason, I can never spell "disappointed". Often try to throw is two S's and one P. Also, can never type "regrads", at the end of an email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolhibby Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) ForeignThis one gets me all the time. It doesn't follow the I before E except after C, should add or if it's in foreign.Atlantic gets me. I keep wanting to substitute the first T for a D. J Edit while we are on it Ocean used to trip me up. As did Received (I before E except after C again).
