johndh1 0 #4 September 30, 2007 The latter - think vac-u-um rather than vac-yume. There's where the confusion comes in. I have to double check "embarass" sometimes. I think "weird" should be spelled "wierd." I mean, is it "Yeild"Roll Tide Roll Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kbordson 8 #6 September 30, 2007 curettage Is it one "r" or two... how many "t"s? THAT is why doctors handwriting is so bad... we're just trying to hide how we can do the procedure, but can't spell it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jjiimmyyt 0 #7 September 30, 2007 Having known many Doctors in my life (my dad was a hospital manager when he decided to stop examining other peoples poop and blood) its not that you cant spell, its cos your hands are shaking too much due to rampant alcoholism. YMMV. edit too add: 'you' was used in a collective sense rather than aimed at you directly. So much easier in french. "This isn't an iron lung, people.

billvon 2,400 #15 October 1, 2007 > curettage > Is it one "r" or two.. Well, that's easy! Curette has one R. Now, restaurant and judgment are always problems. I always misspell them the same way the first time I type them for some reason. (Restaraunt and judgement.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baksteen 84 #22 October 1, 2007 Lessee... Pisces and supercallifragilisticexpealladocious, I think. My problem is with necessary neccesary necesary or neccessary, and for some reason with "wcih" instead of "which". In the latter case it's probably the double H that does it."That formation-stuff in freefall is just fun and games but with an open parachute it's starting to sound like, you know, an extreme sport." ~mom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christoofar 0 #23 October 1, 2007 These are words I use in more complicated speech, like technical writings that I do for my job… that I have a hard time with: Acquiesce [I ALWAYS misspell this!!!] Queue [I use the old word for it… “spooler”, but it confuses engineers sometimes] Prestidigitation [fancy word for “magic”] Dawdle Recombinant Truculent Re-factor [I forget the hyphen here, there is no “refactor”] I also have a lot of Southern phraseology that I use in my speech that I have trouble spelling in emails. For example, when I think something is broken or fucked up, in front of a nice person who is sensitive to guys who swear, I’ll say it’s “caddy-wumpus” instead. ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES!

ACMESkydiver 0 #25 October 1, 2007 I have completely lost all ability to remember where 'double' letters go in words when there is more than one possibility in my head... Necessary Tomorrow Professional Professor Succeeded vs. seceded Access... The list goes on. See? I had to spell check the damn list. ...and the worst part is that spelling used to be my strong point until I had the twins. Then I think a tumor developed that has consumed half of my brain. -Oh, and just for NWFlyer, we can't forget my 'Qwest' / 'Quest' mix-up of late. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.
