I don't know about you, but there are a few words that I can never spell, no matter how many times I use it, I forget how to spell it, mainly because I'm lazy, or I don't use the word often enough to care.

For me, I can never spell these words.

definitely - I always spell it definetley
guarantee - I spell this guarentee or gaurentee
volunteer - I always spell it volenteer
calendar - I sometimes spell this calender

Then other days I'm sitting here thinking how to spell "the" because my brain decides to go on vacation.

Oddly that's one I can do no trouble, learned it when I was 10 because that's the kind of cool kid I was :P

My spelling is excellent but TYPING I always seem to manage to type out choice as choiec, that's about it really * + * +

Disappear and disappoint I always do with a double S and one P instead.

Definitely I always have to think about too.

generally been ok with spelling for the most part. usually if i cant spell something i can just look it up and then usually have no issue beyond that. one word that did take a while though is diarrhoea

took me a lot longer than I care to admit to realise where the mistake was there

So that's most of the time then? ;)

- I pretty much am rubbish at the English language when it comes to spelling, I use spell-checker and google pretty much everyime for most of the simplest words!

I always have to double and triple check when I spell "necessary", it's always hard for me to remember how many c's and s'.

On another note, I would forget how to spell Wednesday probably if I didn't speak "Wed-nes-day" in my head every time I spelled it.

The way I remember how to spell necessary is 'one collar two socks' (one c two s) Idk why that always just stuck with me hahaha

I'm not too bad with spelling, there's no words that come to mind rn that I always struggle with

That's honestly a great way to do that. I normally just type it whatever comes to mind first and see if it auto corrects or not :P

Hard to answer because I never speak English in my real life... I do not have to!! The commonplace occasions from the day-to-day sometimes do allow some 'YES', 'Thanks' or 'wtf' to happen out of the blue but don't ask me to pronounce squirrel

I find that spelling habits when writing things with a some kind of pen is different to typing, but considering that I type most of the time instead of write I find that

Occassionally gets me every time, it's occasionally but you know.

Receive used to be a really terrible one for me between putting the e and the i the other way around all the time!

I know how to spell these words but it's getting out of those habits of adding double letters in places they shouldn't be!
