What word/s do you have a hard time spelling

[Rachel]

Along the same lines..... I always have to look up stationary and stationery when I am using them in a sentence.

1. Stationery is writing paper.
2. Stationary is being fixed in one place.

Another way to remember this one is that you use a pen to write on stationery.

For some reason, I have a hard time spelling the names of some fruits and vegetables. My grocery list is a mess.

banana or bannana?
potatos or potatoes?
broccoli or brocoli or brocolli?

Thank you ReddHedd and Rachel! Those were just the tips I needed. You have saved me countless trips to the dictionary! LOL!

In my work doing medical transcription my boss does not spell things (probably a good thing as he spells worse than I do). When he says a patient's name is Frances/Francis I have to wait until I hear he/she or him/her in the body of the dictation before knowing which spelling to use. I found a helpful little way to determine the correct spelling which is sort of like the hints you gave. Frances with an "e" is easy to remember because there is an "e" in her. Francis with an "i" is easy to remember because there is an "i" in him.

I'm a pretty good speller, but the most challenging words would have to be phobias. (Here I go again with the phobias... )

Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia (fear of the number 666)

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia (OMG! I REMEMBERED IT! )

pneumonia (or however you spell it...I think that's right though...not sure... )

psychic (I seem to always screw up the s and the p or add in an h somewhere...only when I'm typing though. My friend spells it physic )

plagiarism (I always put plajarism )
