always have to check my spelling of Calendar

Calender is a real word but it’s something to do with textiles rather than showing dates.

could you make a calendar with a calender?

Went through an embarrassingly large portion of my life spelling it Febuary.

Pretty sure i was right and everyone else is wrong

My big one is unnecessary. I’m fine with necessary. However, inexplicably, add an ‘un’ to the start and all of a sudden I get confused about the number of n’s, c’s and s’s.

Bureaucracy.

Perhaps ironically as I’ve spent most of my working life in the public sector in one way or another.

I do KNOW how to spell ‘language’ but, embarrassingly, I often mis-type it which is a pain as I have to type it a lot.

The most common words I see misspelled these days by the young people are what I would call ‘smooshed words’ where two words get smooshed together incorrectly (yeah, yeah, settle down you crazy descriptivists):

alot
eachother
infront
aswell

As books on punctuation go* this isn’t bad

*I haven’t read any others

Manouvre.

I know that’s wrong, and maybe there should be another e in it maybe? I could right-click and fix it, but then you’d look and say to yourselves “I’m sure that’s spelt* right”.

*on a related note, should that have been spelt or spelled?

Always have a bit of a brainfart when I go to write an X or a Z, to be honest.

always used to struggle with wednesday and february, both are spelt wrong in my opinion.

In general I’m pretty bad, probably have the spelling ability of an 8 year old

I always think of ‘canoe’ which gets the first half of the word sorted. Then it’s just ‘oo-v-ra’
