Is there a word that you often spell incorrectly? [I Am Good At Spelling]

I have three of four of them. For some reason unless I use spell check I usually get separate wrong

"Separate" is one I get wrong. I want it to be "seperate", which is how I pronounce it.
HairbrushDiva · 31-35, F
@hunkalove Why do you [i]want[/i] it to be "seperate"? It doesn't look right.
hunkalove · 61-69, M
@HairbrushDiva But it sounds right. I grew up in hillbilly country. I pronounce it "sep-er-ut".
HairbrushDiva · 31-35, F
@hunkalove The second syllable (with the "a" in it) tends to be squeezed out, most people say "seprate".

I think I might spell more words incorrectly and often without to know because English is not my mother language.

No actually my spelling is excellent. Math on the other hand is another story. 😝

Their and neighbor
HairbrushDiva · 31-35, F
@Eddiesolds "Neighbor" is the American way of spelling "neighbour". Both are acceptable.
Eddiesolds · 61-69, M
@HairbrushDiva I didnt know that.Thanks!

@Eddiesolds I'm English so I spell words the conventional English way but I don't say American spellings are incorrect, they are just seen as alternative spellings. It's all about convention.

akindheart · 61-69, F

I’ve used mnemonic devices to help with certain words.

I used to confuse desert and dessert for years. I then remembered that dessert is something extra after dinner; so an extra “s”.

With separate, I learned that it contains “a rat” (sepARATe).

I sometimes spell "particularly" as "particularily".

Very many words I spell incorrectly.
