What word do you often spell incorrectly?

[briana1975]

I spell a lot of words wrong. That is why I apologized ahead of time in my sig line.

my two boo boo's also. My typing skills are not the best, so I try not to correct, but some spelling errors make me crazier, hence my sig line. Predator! Good heavens, you actually have to look at the word when you click predator and pest forum. I got x-credit in nursing school on a test for spelling

Ive always been a stickler for spelling. I police myself pretty hard.

I do get 'necessary' mixed up from time to time.

Pet spelling peeve? "Irregardless" - it's not actually a word.

Irregardless is considered nonstandard because of the two negative elements ir- and -less. It was probably formed on the analogy of such words as irrespective, irrelevant, and irreparable.
Those who use it, including on occasion educated speakers, may do so from a desire to add emphasis. Irregardless first appeared in the early 20th century and was perhaps popularized by its use in a comic radio program of the 1930s. - dictionary.com

Ive always loved the sentiment expressed by George Bernard Shaw that says don't use words that are too big for the occasion, when "very" will do. Once you do - there is nowhere left to go.

I couldnt spell definitely forever.

I finally figured out its de- finite-ly. Makes sense!

Thats another one- since, sence, sense, cince, cense???

I actually dont have much trouble spelling, but there are times when I just cant get a word right, no matter how hard I try, and I KNOW I know it!
