    What is the most difficult word you find day in and out you have difficulty spelling.

    Mine is:

    convenient or convenience

    I hate to tell you how many variations spellcheck has had to verify

    what about you?

    necessarily - Didn't master the word until my late 20's...and to this day I still have to spell it out in my mind before writing it...definitely not automatic.

    Same here.

    Also, there's an automatic spell check on my firefox internets, but seeing as I learned English the UK way and it corrects to the American one I always end up with lots of red squiggly lines:p

    My solution is to write the word, but then write over the a with an e so it looks like I corrected my error, then my secretary can decide which way it is supposed to be. :)

    Receive is a word that I messed up for years, because for some reason I thought it was an exception to the i before e execpt after c rule. Turns out it's not...

    Naaaaah - "w- w- wo- worrrrr..." is my 2nd favorite line Fonzie ever uttered.

    The fave remains "Cool it!" from the Camping episode.
