Title: Forgetting How to Spell Simple Words
Post by: KatherineGale on January 23, 2020, 09:30:42 pm

Does anyone else forget how to spell really simple words sometimes? I'm pretty reasonable with the English language (and English is my first language) and I have always faired well with spelling, but sometimes...

I forgot how to spell "finish" today, I kept writing it on my whiteboard as "Finnish" for no reason whatsoever, and I knew it was wrong but I couldn't for the life of me work it out :) I just stared at it, slowly wiped away each letter, then wrote it out the same way hahaha. I'm laughing now, but after I did it a few times, I thought I was going nuts :)

I've done this before, my worst incident was completely blanking on how to spell "what" haha.

Has anyone else done this?

The one word I can NEVER spell:

exercise.

I always spell in excercise for some reason. I never get it right on the first try.  ::)

I am shocking at spelling, so there are many simple words that I really struggle with. Necessary and other words with lots of the letter s in them are almost impossible for me. There are so many words that I always spell wrong, but I've gotten better as I got older.

Had a freakout last night because I forgot how to spell maybe :P

"mabye", "maby", "mabie".

Little brain-farts like this really remind me that I should be getting more sleep.

I forgot how to spell bakery today. I literally wrote 'back' then stared at it for far too long before crossing out the C and continuing with 'ba (Scribbled out C) kery'. And I did it in front of a customer too! How embarrassing.

It embarrasses me that "embarrass" continues to mess with my head.

I keep spelling "best" as "bessed", I think it's because "best" rhymes with "dressed" and I watch a lot of bestdressed on youtube ::)
I always seem to forget that "grateful" isn't spelt "greatful"
And lately I've been spelling "beautiful" as "beatiful"
