Common words that you'd hate to get in a spelling test

canoe helps with manoeuvre

Kangarew's a tough won.

desiccated

David - that's brilliant!

collywobble - yes that double c is a nightmare!

Phlegm always makes me want to spit when I have to write it.

jed - is that a username!

Dr Crippen - I guess being a doctor that would be a common word for you!

The -ible/-able suffixes are the ones most likely to catch me out as there seems to be no general rule...a bit like the occasional
-eous endings (eg. miscellaneous) though they're relatively seldom by comparison.

One word I remember getting wrong in a quiz about a decade ago was minuscule, even though my version (miniscule) is still in the dictionary - as you can guess...we lost in a tiebreak that night

Phew! I think I prefer your version of miniscule!

With it still being in the dictionary I thought it would've been accepted?

We have a tough quizmaster who often throws in variant spellings...even with foreign words!!!

And HIS decision ALWAYS stands...even when he's wrong!

Phew! I hope he's not so tough on the prize money!

Separate & guarantee for me.

pscycopath
pscyologist

the_pessimist - That's quite freaky that you mentioned separate cos I only found out recently that I've been spelling it wrong for years. I was using e instead of a - seperate.

Coachbuster - I find that once you've got the psycho bit right, the rest is easy.

They all looked plausible and acceptable. It was just the correct spelling which looked obviously wrong.

ONOMATOPOEIA ALWAYS CATCHES ME OUT....

Emden...

For most of my life I spelled it like this... "definately"

Then, several years ago, one of my email friends said that because I was a good speller (the only thing I'm good at!) she was surprised that I couldn't spell it properly, saying it was spelt "definitely".

So from that point on I've always spelled it like that.

Surely you mean spelt ?

BTW just write defo know it's easier

Phew! You could be right, I don't know??? Strangely enough I was actually wondering that when I wrote it. Spelt or spelled - that's one for Google!

I'd hate to get diarrhea as well.

Gonorrhea is more common than you'd think though its 'popularity' is falling.
(second most common bacterial STI in the United Kingdom)

Translating medical texts was one of the less straightforward jobs I've had. Diarrhoea and gonorrhoea, haemorrhoids and haemorrhages, rheumatism and rhonchus ...

Antidisestablishmentarianism.

You see, the longest aren't always the hardest.

I´d hate to get Onomatopoiea in a test...though I admit it´s not so common.

Necessary is an easy one. Just think of a shirt, one Collar and two Sleeves.
