    If you entered a Spelling Bee, what easy word would you miss?

    Accommodate?
    Cancel?
    Misspell?
    Weird?
    Calender?

    I misspelled every word. Autocorrect got every one except one. I have no idea why, but I left it.

    Heck, I misspell all the time. It is embarrassing when it's something that you know how to spell and still make a mistake. Like your middle name...I have done that recently and it wasn't on a keyboard...

    Just tried it again. For some reason, my spell check has one of those words misspelled. It's weird, but it's not weird. I even screen recorded it to see if I was missing something, but no, I can accommodate just the one word without having to cancel it.

    Canceled always looks odd to me. I want it to be cancelled.

    Same.

    Also judgment looks weird without an e to me. I can easily misspell those.

    Effect or affect.
    I know that it is 2 different words and meanings, but usually get the 2 confused and thus look like I am misspelling it.

    “i before e” or is it “e before i” except before C, or is it except after C.

    Oh wait, neither. The rule is deceiving, or is it insufficient to use as a spelling guideline.

    Here's one that always gets me.

    Accommodate. I ALWAYS spell it with one "m." It's a mental block. I even started the thread with it and I typed something and misspelled it again this morning.

    Also, I just found that surmission is not a word. It should be. Someone surmising should create a surmission. Thanks, red squiggly lines, for showing me I tried to use a word that is not a word.

    Not a spelling issue, however I have several words…

    More of a typing issue. I work with a lady named Yvette. I cannot type her name without adding an R on the end. No clue why. But that name is going to wear out my backspace button.

    If I can add names, I'd add CJ Fredrick not Frederick and Will Rogers not Rodgers.

    Another name...Thiero. Not Theiro. I spell it wrong much of the time. I should stick with Adou, except I'd probably spell it Ado.

    Mine is bureau.

    Re cancelled versus canceled, both are technically correct. The British spelling is with two “l’s” instead of one. Cancelling and canceller are both correct also. Check out the following link. I’ve pulled this page up numerous times over the years to confirm. Cancellation is used for more than the one “l” version.

    I think technically judgement and judgment are both acceptable as well, although judgment is so ingrained in me the other way looks awful to me.

    Wow. Not a word I've used much, but I bet I have misspelled it every time.

    Vacuum

    At work it was written on a box we stored the vacuum in. And whoever, before my time, labeled it has vaccum. I have doubted myself ever since.

    Necessity, I always type neccessity and then look at it and think, that is not right.
    Don't know why...
