I don't think I'll ever be able to spell...

[Cycleops]

I ended up asking my Good Lady how to spell words.

Quite, my wife knows everything so I don't need Google.

I always forgot whether I play 'Soduko' or 'Sudoku'! The way that I found to remember which is to think 'Zulu plays Sudoku' - two 'u's each. I still hesitate or get it wrong when saying the word.

We get round that in our house by calling them Okey Dokeys.

Back to the OP, I have problems with occasion and ocassion.

I can spell, my keyboard on the other hand cannot.

Necessary was my bugbear until college. A friend had problems too and a tutor took us aside and said "Nearly Every Clown Eats Special Sausages At Rehearsals, Y? Because it's necessary" I have never forgotten that and still use it to this day. Probably just the thought of Special Sausages that keeps it in my head

As long as you can write and pronounce "beer", life is good.

 

[Electric_Andy]

I always struggle with questionnaire (I put too many other letters in and not enough n's)

Spellin is not my fortay.........

I always thought life was good when you drank beer?

I remember it as 'Never Eat Crab, Eat Smoked Salmon'!

You both appear to have overcome your difficulties.

Congratulations!

Condescension is a spelling I have no trouble with

I can't spell my own name.

For years i couldn't spell my own name used to spell it Micheal wasn't until i was married that i started to spell it properly

I notice a lot of people spell 'definitely' wrong, normally they write 'definately'

'Recommend' gets me, I normally start out by writing recogmend before remembering and retyping it correctly.

I had two friends at school, brothers from Sri Lanka, with an almost impossible surname to pronounce.

They told me their father's name was even more difficult to say, so I thought it must have been a ridiculous name to try and pronounce.

It turned out their father was called 'Cuthbert' and they just couldn't say the 'th' bit.

 

[Tin Pot]

I'm a bit of a grammar Nazi but I do seem unable to settle on the spelling of 'separate'.

In fact the spell checker just set me straight again. It's been decades and this one just won't stick for me.

Even though the phone told me which was correct none of them look right
