guerenteed....guarenteed? No, it's spelled guaranteed.

What words do you struggle to spell? I can't spell guaranteed without looking it up. I just brain farted for about five minutes. Definitely one of the most difficult words for me to remember how to spell.

Also maintenance. I literally can't remember how to spell it. I always see the red squiggles when I spell it out.

Honestly, one of the most difficult words are the ones that have a few too many vowels. I don't have dyslexia, but sometimes, my brain mixes up the order of words in my head. But these two words just trip me up more than others.

me literally every time i try to spell a word the british way where i'd have to replace the "z" with an "s".

like, i'd want to say words like "realise" or "rationalise" (or any sort of "-ize/ise"), but i'm never sure whether the "s" is appropriate there or not. @__@

Botches "maintenance" also. Misspells "cemetery", "license", "relevant", and "mischievous" often too.

Any I before E words, especially if they're an exception.

Necessary Occasion. who allowed these words to have too many c's and s's

I struggle with occasionally on occasion. Sometimes I try to spell it ocassion or occasionnally and it's like... Why are there so many of the same letter anyway? >.> I also occasionally will have issues with words that have tant/tent in it. Like consistent vs constant. 'Constant' I get right always, but sometimes my brain says, "ah yes, consistantly" or "intermittantly". I used to have problems with restaurant, but once I started pronouncing it differently in my head (rest-OUR-ant), it alleviated my misspelling. Since I write a lot, I rarely find words that trip me up anymore; and I'm always getting better at spelling so I'm sure that, someday, these words won't bother me.

I'm sure there are others, but I usually don't think about them until I happen to be writing and attempt to spell one out.

I occasionally misspell occasion (pun not intended lol). I just instinctively add two s's and then see that dreaded red underline. :D

I came here to say occasion but looks like its been said! There are a lot of words I probably would fudge the spelling for without autocorrect. I almost always have to correct my spelling of conscientious, embarrassing, accommodate.. I'm very grateful for spell check. :D

Ressource/Resource. Both legitimate spellings of the word, except: different languages.

Also apparently I like to write legitemate instead of legitimate? Necessary I always end up writing with two c, as well. And there's a lot more where that came from. <_<

I guess it's the perfect occasion to say I often struggle with "across" as I'm never sure whether it has one or two cs.

I'm usually good with spelling, but sometimes words with double letters like "committee" and "cancelled" trip me up. Also "cognizant," which I think should be spelled "cognisant" (and I'm American)

One of us. One of us.

I generally have pretty good spelling, but those two words in particular constantly mess me around.

I don't know how to spell coincidence. This thread is the first time I've done it without spell checker, which was sheer luck.

I was trying to spell it in another post and it came out coidenence.

Occur, occurrence, necessary, necessity

hmm cant think of others. i'm typically a good speller

ok i thought of a new word, here. how can anyone spell camaraderie right??

I also have a lot of trouble with maintenance and maintain. I have a problem with French in general because 90% of letters in French aren't actually pronounced at all, making it a very annoying language to deal with it sometimes.

Not English, but the one case I just more or less gave up trying to spell correctly a long time ago in my native language are the 4 "porques", even though I do know the rules (and why those rules are there) by heart by now.

Por que -> why
Por quê -> why, but at the end of a sentence
Porque -> because
Porquê -> reason

I just go with "porque" for all four of those because nobody cares and context is enough 99.999% of the time.
