What words do you have a brain freeze remembering how to spell? For me, I always seem to mess up convienent, refridgerator, recieve, and buisiness. Thank goodness for spell checker!

I can't think of any at this time, but I have a couple that I always have to look up.
None but I do have a problem remembering the definitions.
Love this thread, right up my alley
cheers
The one word that always gets me is surprisingly. I can write it out over and over again, and still spell it wrong.
I don't have a problem with the spellings but when I type I often type hte for the Just the speed of typing and coordination at that moment go out
One of my greatest bugbears is pharmacopoeia, also my fingers insist on typing ration every time I want to type ratio.
My mind sometimes thinks ahead of what I am typing, so I end up with strange fusions of two words.
Definitely is the word. I always get and error when I type and I don't seem to grasp the correction. : )
The problem I have is that every time that I write a Hub, it ends up full of words with red underlining.
Why? Because I speak and write in English.
I live forty minutes away from "Cincinatti," but I tend to confuse my GPS whenever I need to go there. I've even tried to create a mnemonic device, but a couple of weeks later I realized I was using it to remember the wrong spelling, so I gave up.

I have noticed that the spell check within the capsules does not recognize certain contractions, such as, "I've," and will underline it as an error, when in fact, there is no spelling error.

The spellcheck has never worked for me on hubpages. I click it and it either tells me a bunch of words are misspelled when they aren't or it shows no misspellings, when I know there are. I end up copying and pasting my articles to word and doing a check there and having to go back and...

Does anyone agree with me that spelling should be required thru 12th grade?I've seen so many spelling errors on web pages lately. That includes 'help wanted' pages!!!!!! It's a scary thought that our future is in the hands of people that are not even aware that there's a problem.

Is your spelling getting worse?I prided myself as a kid on my excellent spelling. As the years go by it's getting constantly worse. I think it's the fault of Spell Checker, a blessed little program but one that makes us rely on it. Are you having the same experience?
