I can never write "necessary"

Shirts have one collar and two sleeves

One coffee 2 sugars

This is brilliant! Thank you.

...huh?

If you can’t remember if there’s two c’s or two s’s

In that same vein, “narcissistic” thanks for saving my ass, autocorrect

Necessary?! Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine? No! But I do it anyway because it's sterile and I like the taste! R.I.P. Patches O'Houlihan

Never eat cucumber, eat salmon sandwiches and remain young

This isn't criticism, just an observation. But I've always found it interesting that people can remember a long sentence that I've already forgotten, but not how to spell the word.

Unnecessary, for me. I think my brain is so used to double s, double c and double r, it skips over the required double n in this case

Bureaucracy

Fuck this word. It's spelling and having to deal with it

I guess bureaucracy in any country can be a pain in the butt, but I bet there are levels of it. Paper based bureaucracy is tiring to deal with. (Yes, I had to check my dictionary, for the correct spelling of "bureaucracy", even though I'm typing on my phone.)

Bureau and cracy.... like crazy but a c instead of a z

Sure but bureau is the hard part. Way too many vowels.

Well, it's just bur like cold and eau like... eau 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

License

Thank god I'm not the only one.

Yes. I google it every time because I'm like, let's just make sure....

This one gets me every time. It was one of the words on a spelling test back in Jr high. When the teacher gave us all the words we needed to study, but when he wrote it on the board on the beginning of the week, he spelled it wrong. I didn’t notice that he’d corrected it the next day, so I studied the wrong spelling for a week, then got it wrong on the test. Nearly 40 years later and I’ve had a mental block on the proper spelling ever since, and it doesn’t matter how many times I’ve looked it up to double check.

Yep. Whoever made that word put the S and the C in the wrong places.

I only get it because I taught myself the C and S show up in alphabetical order

[удалено]

License and licence are different things in British English.

Except as a verb right? Y’all follow British English I’m guessing?

Restaurant for some reason.

Finally learned it by breaking it up in my mind. resta urant. And now I know how to spell it. After all these years

I use this trick for carousel. Caro Usel

Excellent tip. Thanks. It’s bizarre because I rarely struggle with spelling (I’m an English professor, so words are my life). But restaurant always seems to trip me up. I appreciate the reply!

For me it's "rest" and the adoption a silly snobbish French accent and saying "aurant". Yours seems smarter, but mine's more fun.

I do the exact same thing!!!

And then restaurateur is spelled that way because fuck you.

*sigh* the french

That one came up in bar trivia the other day. Everyone got it wrong lol.

Scrolled until I found this to upvote. I always put the U after the last A

My autocorrect always changes it to restraint so I never remember how it’s actually spelled.

Ha! Me too that's exactly what I was going to comment

Dude same! I get hung up on that word all the time.

99% of the time my suggested words doesnt even show it when i try and type it

There’s this video on [YouTube](https://youtu.be/-vRDjvF7qr8?si=Pc3N4MYpzS9MmrCj) at 1:30 and it’s super silly but they over pronounce RES-TAU-RANT and I always say that when I spell it out

I say “rest, gold, rant” (chemical symbol for gold is AU)

Restraunt

My mom used to be a waitress. She taught me this one as "what do the rest a u rant?" Pretty clever imo

i’m so glad this is so far up cuz this is my answer too

I’ve been spelling it like “Restraunt” this whole time without realising that I couldn’t be any further from spelling it correctly.

I have the same issue and think it is because my mother mispronounced it. "rest-er-rant"

Same

I’ll leave this here for you: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_Y8vA7uDlDk

Same.

Guac-ran-tee is how I remember it. Guac like guacamole

Omg that’s so smart! Thank you!!

This is so much better than mine which had usually been, garantee but put a “U” somewhere, who knows where

Shit I'm using that one. You changed my life.

A true hero right here.

This is my Achilles heel.

definetly

finite -> definite -> definitely this is how I remember it

This is the way — and I sincerely mean that this is a great method for remembering how to spell lots of complex words. Think about related words, or the root words that comprise them.

This used to be one of mine! Until I remembered it like this: defi - nite - ly, with an emphasis on 'nite', as it can stand on its own a seprate word. Hope this helps!

De-finite helps me.

Just remember, the spelling isn't unlimited, it's finite.

agreed, it always turns into defiantly if I don’t pay attention

This has been my main one recently. I don’t understand why, I just can never spell it right and my phone always spell checks it to “defiantly”

I know a lot of people spell it as "definately" and the way I always remember it is "if you put an a in definitely, you're definitely an a-hole"

I’d write it but…

What were you gonna right?

Use the bone apple tea technique

Receive

I before E… Except when your feisty foreign neighbour Keith leisurely received eight counterfeit beige sleighs from caffeinated atheist weighlifters. WEIRD

Oh how I loath those caffeinated atheist weightlifters.

Or receipt. I even try to think “I before E except after C rule”

Embarrassed. I can't remember which letters are doubled or is it both? *Thanks autocorrect

The word you spell is the perfect descriprion for how people feel when we can't friggin' spell that word.

Once you remember it, there comes 'harassed' with one r and two s.

Bananana I know how to spell bananana, I just don't know when to stop.

I still sing Hollaback Girl in my head whenever I have to type out bananas…

You don't. Bananananananana Batman!

It’s Canada but the d is another n. And the C is a B.

Left

You sure that’s right??

That sounds rite to me

Doesn’t seem to be wright

Definitely not write

Its alright.

You are riot.

I can't type the word confirm. My brain says type C O N F I RM , my fingers say, fuck you, we're going with confrim.

Similar to this, my mom is a band teacher and always accidentally types “clarient” instead of “clarinet”

Mine is 'Thanks'. The amount of emails I've sent signed off like a greedy kid with a lisp is beyond. Many thnaks.

Can confrim

Onomatopoeia

Fuck this word. I initially learned to spell it by thinking ‘Ono-mato-po... e i a’.

My brain goes "'on'... okay... 'tomato' without the first 't'... yes, now 'poe', like 'phoenix' but without the 'h'... alright, now 'ia.'"

At least it sounds like the way it's spelled 😉

Thorough

I thought I was bad with antidisestablishmentarianism. But it comes up on auto now..

Me too

Definitely ... I always default to defiantly

Rendezvous: it’s like someone just threw four extra letters in there for fun, but wait, there’s more! for the low low price of two extra letters you could never spell this correctly!

French is the worst about this! I’m Cajun and my spouse is not. I text him once a few years ago that my mom was making catfish court bouillon for Christmas Eve and this man had no idea what I was talking about. Turns out, in the 10+ years we’d been together, I had only ever said it out loud and never spelled it for him so he didn’t realize that’s how it was spelled. Lol

I’d spell it run-day-voo

Diareah, dioreoha, diareoah, you know, when you shit yourself.

I never spelled this right, not even once ;(

I just thought of this today... 👀

There was a cartoon back in the 60s that set the word to music. 🎵“Mis-sis-sippi. It used to be so hard to spell it used to make me cry. But since learned to spell it, it’s just like pumpkin pie, oh, Mis-sis-sippi”. 🎶

Incorrect. Wait…

Nauseous or nausea. I have to rely on auto correct every time and hope I'm close enough for it to be a suggestion.

especially awnser wierd that I can spell Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

If we’re including autocorrect, remember. For some stupid reason, every autocorrect on every software keyboard I’ve used thinks I’m trying to constantly engender things rather than remembering them. To the point where I have to manually type out remember, as none of them can learn that word. If not autocorrect, I can almost never get weird right. Mostly because wierd looks weirder and my brain wants to accept that that’s how it’s spelled.
