    I will never be able to spell the word "necessary". Its only right there correctly because I used spell check.

    What word will you never spell right first time?

    LOL!!

    I'm a technical type of dude, but by god i find quite a few words i cant spell on the spot. Could be for many reasons but!

    Attentuation? ---- attenuation
    Neccesary? --- "necessary". AS quoted!

    See without actually looking at your spelling. I got it wrong!!

    Silverfish: Humorous

    St0n3d, what does the second word mean?

    Spelling would be one of my stronger points but lodgement (or is it lodgment?) ditto judgement/judgment can stump me.

    I used to spell "definitely" "definately" but have since corrected this.

    Can't think of any word that I use that I can't spell. Obviously I wouldn't have a clue how to spell some medical terms but I don't use them so meh.

    Dyslecsia??:o

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 112 ✭✭St0n3d


    relative?
    Relitivity? Dam you darwin!

    Come to think of it i cant even spell illiterate? Illiterate? dammit

    I used to think it was "seperate" for the adjective (as in "they led seperate lives") and "separate" for the verb (as in "they did not want to separate the twins") but according to a newspaper editor I know, a sub-editor with decades of experience, and a sports editor, it's "separate" for both.

    Humour = Irish spelling
    Humor = American spelling

    which means it should be humourous?? No??? :confused:
