No kidding! I had NO idea whatsoever, I spell them both "stationary" and always have.

Here's a trick for "separate" ... Say this, "There's "A RAT" in "sepARATe".

And here's my trick for desert vs. dessert ... Desert has one "s", like sand. Dessert has two "s"'s, like strawberry shortcake.

I have a lot of trouble knowing whether words like calendar, cemetery, etc. have an "e" or and "a" in the last syllable.

I never remember "penicillin" ... is that even correct?
