S/O Bad Spelling

[alabasterangel]

I generally consider myself a good speller (DYAC aside) but I can never remember how to spell "calendar". Never ever.

I blame it on growing up near a town with the name "Callender".

Are there any words you have to look up and double check frequently?

Claddagh, beaujolais, Cincinnati

I also get complement and compliment confused a lot, but I'm getting better about that.

There are also words I know how to spell but often mistype. When I mean to type severe (which is not infrequent in my line of work), half the time, I type sever, which of course, is not caught by spell check.

I have a problem with the following a lot:

Intelligent (ironic, huh?)

Definitely (until someone on the old board had a siggy that said something like "you're an a-hole if you put an 'a' in 'definitely.'" That finally got it through my head)

Guarantee

Liaison. WTF is that other i doing in there?

[MissusTexas]

Restaurant always pisses me off.

Restraunt

Resteraunt

Restaraunt

I usually pride myself on my spelling, but I have trouble with definitely sometimes too. I always have to think to myself to spell out the word definite and then I'll get it right.

Exercise and Surprise both get me frequently, I always want to type exersize or suprise and don't know why it's stuck in my head that way.

[ILikeSloths]

I get the words capitol and capital confused.

Conscience. I had to let spell check take care of it for me here too.

That was the word that tripped my brother up in the big regional spelling bee he was in when he was 12 or so.

Acquisitions, jalapenos, and restaurant
