What Word Are You Continually Misspelling?
Even after the spell checker flags the word each time... you (or your fingers) simply refuse to learn to spell it the correct way? You've obviously got a mental-block or something... so what's the word?

CONFESS!!

"Form" and "From"
I type one when I mean the other - and since they're both valid words, spell check doesn't catch them....

5. To, too, two, there, their, they're.
Yes, I know the proper usage of all of them. However, I'm usually two busy thinking about what I want too say to remember they're correct spellings or even think about there usage.

6. IT'S and ITS grrr
Edited on Thu Jun-03-04 02:10 PM by eleonora
misspelling. I always forget the first S :)

I go bananas when people confuse ITS and IT'S. Also many add "'s" everywhere when they shouldn't. Oh and your you're is in the same category. Screams MORON to me.

8. Judgment.
I always put that second "e" in there, even though I know that's not how it is spelled. I touchtype very fast, and sometimes don't catch it till I spellcheck, if at all.

10. The
Seriously. I type it as "teh" all the time and then go back and fix it. If you see a post from me that was edited a minute or two after it was originally posted...it's probably because I misspelled "the".

12. It used to be Fahrenheit, but lately
I've learned how to spell it. I think by the 25th everyone in America will know how to spell that word. Well, except for * and Rummy because they don't read the paper.
