This one gets me to.

I usually split in into three:-

REST AU RANT...I find it helps.

[MrGman]

Necessary - although I just spelled it correctly.

[Prinny]

My spelling is pretty good, but even though I touch-type at work, I am seemingly unable to type anything of the ‘ uld’ family correctly.

I appear to have trained myself to type the following

Wolud & colud instead of would & could

Strangely I have no issue with ‘should’ etc, it’s only the 5-letter ones. Buggered if I know why.

Top tip: Annoy your work colleagues by going into their user dictionary auto-correct settings & changing something innocuous like “regards” to “I hope you die you miserable excuse for a person”. (other, more sweary options are available of course)

Surprising how many people stop leaving their computers unlocked after sending an email or two like that. This may explain why I’ve been wfh since October.

I always have trouble with Floccinaucinihilipilification.

I'm not sure whether to advise you to see a doctor

Unnecessary. I can spell it, I do have to have a good think about it first though.

[LosingGrip]

I'm dyslexic so a few...

January, February are ones that I hate for 59 days a year...

I struggle with bought and brought when to use each one.

I'm fine with their, there and they're though.

There is a load more, but I can't remember them all!

Correctly is the only word you spell correctly.....

Colleague

Liaise

I struggle with those every time and have to consciously think about what I'm writing.

WIth you on colleague & liaise, also struggle with guarantee although by pure fluke I got it right just then...!

[Europa1]

I think I've vented my spleen on this in the "Things that annoy you beyond reason" thread, but the number of PH-ers who seemingly can't differentiate between "loose" and "lose" drives me spare.

My own spelling is of course beyond reproach Although floccinaucinihilipilification is always a challenge.

[Size Nine Elm]

Bananana

I know how to start spelling it, just not sure how to stop.

[Shuvi McTupya]

I have problems with spelling a few of the words already listed but the word i struggle to type is always 'unit' i have to slow down or it always comes out as 'unti'

I remember my English teacher in first year (year 7 for you youngsters) telling us Rhythm Has Your Toes Happily Moving.

This one gets you to what?

[grumpy52]

Loads these days , I used to be pretty good until I had a stroke 9 years ago .
These days spelling, punctuation , mental arithmetic and memory are all shot to bits .
Even when I do get it right it looks wrong .

[FiF]

If I had to write a sentence about manoeuvring and heamorrhoids it would be a real pain in the bum, fortunately I don't.

All fo them

Me too. Very often the spell checker doesn't know wtf I'm trying to spell and have tried google and that can't help either, I've even struggled to find words in the dictionary. The annoying thing is I can spot spelling mistakes a mile off, but don't necessarily (that took two attempts to spell correctly) know what the correct spelling is, just that it's wrong.

Yeah , this is me as well . You know it's bad when the auto correct hasn't got a clue what your trying to spell ! But I love to read , far more than watching the box , but my spelling is comedy bad . st at maths as well , I am a educational failure .

[Leroy902]

Decision.

Lord knows why.
