I actually spell pretty well- it's my typing that's horrible!

Definitely gets me sometimes, and I always have to think through vacuum.

separate (not seperate)
cemetery (not cemetary)
Honestly, I can spell just about any word, but I have to ask my wife everytime about those two. I never can remember which way to spell them is correct.

I have the same problen with THE , my left hand is a tad more dominent than my right and often mixes the letters up in a lot of words, but The is the one I catch it on the quickest.

Left hand switch over in catholic school and the left has never truely gotten over it.

You mean it's not cementary? That's the way it's pronounced here......

I am a fairly good speller, but the one that always gets me is 'their' 'thier' (it doesn't follow the RULE)

Now as far as my typing............................

That is a different story!! My 'backspace' key will definitely be worn out before the rest of the keyboard!
