ManchurianBee Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 I don't know if it counts, but my chemistry professor had us tested with elements. People had easy words like Carbon. Oxygen. I get Beryllium where I wasn't sure if it was two Ls or just one. Quote Link to comment

As for words I have to sound out, after minoring in political theory, "bu-RE-AU-cracy" (which is not at all how you pronounce bureaucracy but helps me spell it every time) 2 Quote Link to comment

I can never seem to write exercise, I always start it "exc" (auto correct won't let me misspell it), For the past few weeks I too have been writing excercise instead of exercise at least 4 times out of 5. This is so obnoxious AND it doesn't even fit in with my other trouble words, which are all double-letter issues! Quote Link to comment
Guzzi Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 "reccomend" and "accadamy" Every. Fricking. Time! The number of times I've had to back and forth correcting those two words to get them spelled right (I don't have auto correct on my netbook), you'd think I would know them off by heart by now. *groan* 1 Quote Make Life Rue The Day Turning back the clock Recipe book 14 Life is far too short to take seriously Link to comment

Wobbegong Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 I had a tough time with "metamorphosis" today. I tried basically every vowel in that spot except 'o', much to my own frustration: metamorphesis metamorphasis metamorpheses (plural?) metamorphisis I usually spell it without issue... but every now and again, there's a word like this, and I just can't seem to find the right vowel for my needs. I wonder if it's a pronunciation issue? 2 Quote Link to comment
