What word do you always spell wrong?

What word(s) do you always struggle with — that you know and you can speak but when you type it just never comes out right? 😂

For me, off the top of my head, it's algorithm and broccoli.

@northernlights101 There's a longer one.

i before e except after c or when sounded as A as in neighbor or weigh

There are exceptions, but this tends to catch most words where the order is confusing.

HI @Heather225

I constantly spell misogynistic as 'mysogynistic' 😂 Another one that still gets me cracking every time I think about it is conscience. I used to pronounce it as 'con-science' 😂

@Heather225 everything … not the word everything but I struggle a lot with spelling (I have dyslexia btw) one that use to annoy me so much was please but I can’t spelling that now I can’t think of a spasfic word rn unless (spasific is really hard to spell) but it’s annoying when I forget how to spell the most basic of words some examples of words I’ve forgotten how to spell and couldn’t figure out and like had to ask someone words like ‘if’ and ‘hello’

i used to have a lot of trouble spelling ‘necessary’ and ‘necessarily.’ i type pretty fast so i make a lot of typos 😅 which is why autocorrect is helpful. other days autocorrect is just… *sigh*
