    Pretty much anything. There is always one asshole with a masters in spelling and grammar that will point out the minor mistakes you've made while telling them they are an idiot

    That's interesting, I hate and will do anything to avoid typing the words:
    1. Spectacularly
    2. Cumquat
    3. Indubitably

    I'm fairly adept at spelling, yet when typing the word 'second', it usually ends up as 'secong'. 'D' and 'g aren't even (exactly) beside each other!

    Back in pre-computer days, I used to stick an 'e' at the end of the word 'both'. Maybe it was just a little flourish with the pen, but why only with that word?

    Quinoa

    Whatever it is, I don't like it

    Architecture.

    I've had to type the word a million times and still can't spell it correctly.

    Second Option
    "irrelevant"

    Ironically, that's one of the few times I've spelled it correctly first go. It's the -ent/-ant thing again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,733 ✭✭✭✭osarusan


    Incorrectly is the only word that isn't spelled incorrectly when it's spelled incorrectly.

    concupiscence

    The amount of times I have to type this daily is disgusting.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 9,005 ✭✭✭pilly


    conscious/conscience-I bet these are still spelt wrong and I don't know which one is which!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 596 ✭✭✭bigar


    Nessacary
    Nessacery
    Necesarry

    Necessary

    I can never get it right the first time so mostly use "needed" instead.

    Architecture.

    I've had to type the word a million times and still can't spell it correctly.

    My job has the word architectural in the name - I couldn't begin to tell you the number of times I'm on the phone and the person on the other ends says "can you spell that please?" and my brain just turns itself off and I have to scramble around my desk for something on headed paper!

    I have a similar thing with the word channel and the name Michael - no matter what way I type them they just never look right to me!

    Can you have partial dyslexia:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,010 ✭✭✭Allinall


    I'd say 90% of my work emails end with

    Regrads...

    I can never get it right and press "send" way too fast.

    Just on this.

    Started a temporary role a couple of years ago and was given an induction document full of yuppyish acronyms.

    Not being well up on a lot of them I turned to google.

    WOW. (Ways of working)

    Google returned " Women on Women"
    with some graphic images.

    Lesson learned!

    Pregnant.

    Always type it as preganant first time and have to go back and change it. That sly extra A slips in every time.
