Are there certain words that you continually miss spell?

[Lon]

Here lately I seem to always miss spell THEIR FOR THERE and catch the error when I spell check.

 

[Falcon]

There and their are both spelled correctly on "Spell Check".

Depends on how they're used.

 

[Ruthanne]

I have a hard time with certain words, too, but can't think of them at the moment. One of them is desperate.

 

[Falcon]

One of the worst is LOSE and LOOSE !

Also using OF instead of HAVE.

Catch myself using IT'S by accident a lot, when it should be ITS. So often you just tack an 'S on the end of a word for possessive. Seems illogical not to do it for IT. I guess that's not spelling, or is it? [As she quietly slinks off to pull up Google, and double check.. ]

English Major, nope never

Well, Lon, there is a spelling error in the title. It should be misspell.

I also notice that many of the opponents seem bent on putting only one L in Hillary's name.

I was a freelance editor for a long time so usage isn't my problem, but there are words in which I'll consistently transpose the same letters, such as envrionment, resarech and wtih. I keep those in my custom autocorrect dictionary. I've wondered whether transposition errors are due to the dominant hand, typing speed, letter sequences or some other factor.

I wondered how long it would take for that to be mentioned!��

Miss Spell could be a girl's spelling contest winner's title.

 

[HazyDavey]

"Schedule".. Everything comes to a screaming halt when I try to spell that word.

Oh oh....that was me. 5th grade! :glee:
