Words you always misspell
Are there words you struggle to spell correctly, that you can never remember where a letter goes in the word, or if it even has that letter? This thread is for you (and me)! What words do you struggle with?

Also, when I type super fast, I put "not" instead of "now" which doesn't make a lot of sense based on a QWERTY keyboard. However, I've done it a lot and in emails or wherever it makes a hell of a difference in the message sent lol.
"Separate" - I always think it's seperate and then MS Word yells at me.

I used to have this problem until 6th grade. I had a math teacher who would have us attach our graphs on a separate piece of paper. You had to write on your sheet that your graph was on a separate piece of paper. I wrote "seperate" on every assignment for a while, and when he returned the papers, I had gotten 1/2 off on all of those problems because I misspelled separate. Quickly learned the correct way in order to save my grade. Thanks, Mr. Kleist!

Yesterday I misspelled "nickle," so I guess that's one.
Also, License. Always spell it "liscence". Actually had to look up the spelling for the purpose of this post
This is easy, because I have two people pointing them out to me over and over again.

Why are you writing Nickelodeon frequently? Just curious!
English is not my first language so I do struggle at times with various words, one that comes to mind is "definitely", I always tend to type it as "definetively".

English is my first language and I struggle spelling that one I know there's others but I can't think of them off the top of my head

Misspelled it today, too
Ugh, those aren't even probably right above. But all else is pretty easy!
Conscious. Succesful.

Oh, man. I misspell "conscious" all the time! Even though I know the difference, and use the mnemonic "con-science," I still flub 'em up between the different words and spellings.

Why is it that Americans always spell colour wrong?

If anything, we both spell it incorrectly. It's "colur."

Why is it that Americans always spell colour wrong?
Mr. Webster deliberately eliminated many superfluous letters when making his dictionary.
The "U" can cause pronunciation confusion because "color" should never sound like "sour."
It's "favor" in USA instead of "favour." My iPhone refused to let me type that just now with the "U" and forced all kinds of non-sensical autocorrections before I managed to get it to stick.

that is some interesting information that I am going to double cheque for accuracy
Anyone who spells definitely as "defiantly" needs to be punched in the nads
This is what happens when schools stop teaching Latin and Greek.

No, this is what happens when schools pass rules like "no child left behind" and participation trophies. Why would anyone expect kids to put effort in when institutions have removed accountability and rewards poor performances?

Makes sense. I should've thought of your reviews. I was thinking you were at home and your wife/kids were critiquing your spelling of Nickelodeon.

As a European learning English, it's been a huge help also having studied Latin, and Greek to a lesser extent.
On a gaming related note, it's always confusing to see people writing "repo" instead of "repro", seeing as they're both short hand for completely different words. It can also be baffling to see so many confuse "then" and "than", especially native English speakers.
I slso struggle with "professional" sometimes.
When I was younger I had a hard time spelling "parallel" and "shepherd".
