    I was typing a document today and I noticed that the same word I always had trouble with in school has come back to haunt me 10 *cough* hears later!!

    'Seperate' as opposed to 'Separate'! :confused::eek:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler

    Necessary and ridiculous. I can spell them now but up until about a year ago I'd never be able to spell them correctly. God bless spell check.

    **** always comes up as asterisks. Every ****ing time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,633 ✭✭✭Feeona


    Incorrectly


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,030 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone


    Loads. I get my 'ie's mixed up a lot and any word with double letters like mattressessessess

    I can make it right if I put effort in though.

    I used to always spell equiptment with a silent T in the middle. I have no idea where I picked that up.

    and that reminds me, predictive text on the phone spells "colour" as "color", when you try to spell colour, it doesnt recognise the word!

    The word "conscious". 9 times out of 10 i'll forget that s in the middle.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,201 ✭✭✭languagenerd


    I was spelling "apparently" wrong for about ten years.

    Apparently, it's not spelled "apparantly" :P

    A lot of people don't realise "alot" is not actually a word.

    Meter and Metre. Always have to check those.

    And on a side-note, I hate trying to say regular/regularly

    "What size coffee do you want, regular or large?"
    "...Medium"
