I can't spell necessarily without using Spell Check.

[ScreamingMeemie]

One would think I'd have figured it out by now. :hi:

[WritingIsMyReligion]

1. Not necessarily.

;) :hi:

[Richardo]

2. .

[WritingIsMyReligion]

7. Rimshot! Yeah!

:D :D

[skygazer]

3. That's weird

I can't spell weird without it.

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. most times I try to avoid words I'm going to have to spell check.

:hi:

[jonnyblitz]

4. i can't spell "definitely" without spellcheck ....

among a host of other words. "definitely" is the first one that comes to mind, though. :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. Let us all praise spellcheck.

It pays to use it...Although I wish usernames were included. I called Midlodemocrat...Midlo...except I spelled it Midol...OOPS!

[anarch]

5. that's alright

I can't necessarily spiel with or without sepulcher.

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

10. ....

sepulcher....:rofl:

[progmom]

8. and there's no spellcheck on MSN messenger

which means i have to keep typing things into the DU spellcheck before i hit send. i swear i used to be able to spell. :(

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. I make my daughter spell for me most times.

That's what we had her for...










...I kid, I kid! :crazy:

[tjwmason]

14. I'm utterly hideous on M.S.N.

Not so much forgetting how to spell words, but typos which I send without checking. More haste less speed I suppose - but I'm an impatient sod.

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. That's why I don't do IM's

You wouldn't understand me anyway. :hi:

[Shine]

11. Here's the trick I use:

"c" comes before "s" and 1 comes before 2. There's only 1 "c" and 2 "s's"....

do you get it? that's how I remember, anyway...

same thing goes for the word "tomorrow".

:hi:

[Richardo]

17. and now: 'Cincinnati'

One 'n' in the first syllable and 2 'n's in the second. Tres facile!

(if you put in 2 't's I can't help you.)

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. Hey! that will work.

:hi:

[Ariana Celeste]

12. My problem is with "recommended"

I always seems to spell it reccomended or reccommended.

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. I do that too!

:hi:

[texas1928]

16. With this Lisp

I can not necessarily say it.


:P****

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. Well, you just need to hand out towels....

:hi:

[texas1928]

24. I wear a bib.

[miss_american_pie]

21. Occasionally

I always have to spellcheck that one.

[Shine]

23. that one gets me, too....b/c my little "trick" (upthread) doesn't work

with this word. Same thing goes for "occured". :crazy:

[tjwmason]

22. My spelling used to be atrocious - due to dyslexia.

I found that finding out why words have the spellings which they do aided me dramatically.

In the case of necessary (and variations such as necessarily), the major point is the single and double letters. If one looks at the 'c' this has to be a single letter, it is a soft c, and is softened by the e which follows it - that e would not soften a double c (this principle is shown best in accelerate where the two cs are pronouced differently because the latter is softened by the e). That's how I know how to spell it at least.

It's also why you Americans might be onto something with your misspelling of sceptic - but don't tell anybody I admitted that.

:hi:

[eppur_se_muova]

25. That's "I can't necessarily spell without using Spell Check".

I'm tempted to recommend grammar check...but I would only embarrass myself if you turned out to be too young to be a grammar. :blush:

[ET Awful]

26. Actually, it should be

I can't spell "necessarily" without using Spell Check.

She was referring to a specific word, not the entirety of her spelling ability.

:P

Her grammar was correct, with the exception of the missing quotation marks.

[eppur_se_muova]

27. You have no sense of whimsy.

:evilfrown:I can't necessarily spell "without" using Spell Check.

[ET Awful]

28. Bah

You have no sense of lunacy :P

[ScreamingMeemie]

31. Actually it should be...

Screw you. :P

[DS1]

29. Here's a brain thingie I just made up for you

Necessarily

I | < read that as one | C < read that as see | 2 esses | rily < read that as really

That'll be 2 dollars.

[jane_pippin]

30. I always screw that one up too. I do not have a clue why, but I do.

I guess I'm glad it's not just me. :hi:
