Words that you always misspell.

[MediocreAuthor]

Have you got any words that you always spell wrong as you type?

"Manhood" is always "Mandood" for me. Every. Single. Time.
Ironically, "Womanhood" never really has the same problem.

Does anyone else have a word that they always screw up?

Will oddly vex me til the end of my days.

 

[AwkwardlySet]

All those English words that have more than one double-letter

 

[MrPixel]

Mine is “likelyhood”. Uh… “likelihood”. It’s been a nemesis for decades.

I start to shake whenever 'manoeuvre' waves its hand in the distance. Seriously, I spell-checked it for this post.

I seem to have a habit of writing:

1. Tuned when I meant turned
2. Stared when I meant started
3. And - though I do this more at work when using a proper keyboard: clinet when I meant client

Instalments, i always end up spelling it with 2 Ls and get the red line under it
I do have difficulty figuring out if i say:

Bureaucracy

Knowing that it's French, I can never remember the order of the vowels I try to spell it like beautiful because they sound similar.

Oh, here's an embarrassing one.

"Definately" "Definitely"

In know how it's spelled, but I can't stop myself.

 

[LoneMilf]

I always have trouble with:
'Definitely' (which becomes 'definately' without me noticing), and
'Awkward' (which becomes 'ackward' but doesn't look quite right, forcing me to look it up for the nth time..)

Don't judge, English isn't my first language

'Definitely' (which becomes 'definately' without me noticing

I have a literary sister!
(and you have every right to judge me. English is my first and only language).

 

[LoneMilf]

'Definately' just has it out for some people!

Assess. I tend to spell it asses. Appropriate error for an erotica writer, I suppose.

Curses. "Write what you know" wins again.

All the weird words where the British and Americans do it differently.
Haemorrhoids.
Yoghurt.

Embarrassment, harassment. I had to Google them to post them here correctly.

Convenience hate that word. None of my characters shall ever set foot in a Convenience store. It will be a 7-11 or WaWa or something.

Exersize - excersize - exercise

English can be so stoopid.

I got a comment reminding me again that it's throes of passion, not throws. I do know that, but when I'm editing it just slips by.

 

[MetaBob]

"the" often comes out as "teh" for me. My computer helpfully underlines the error in red, so I almost always catch it.

Friend. I always have to say "Fiend with an 'r'" or I will spell it wrong.

How does the reader know you’re not referring to having sex underneath a sofa blanket?

Rhythm, and to the point it took me three tries to type it just now. I have never been able to get it right first time out and its been 14 years of writing, its like a mental glitch.

Exactly. LOL They don't know how my mind works.
