Apologize- I always screw this one up bad, and have a few different spellings .

I always type hte instead of the and aKte instead of K.. I think it is pretty sad that I screw up one of the most common words in English and my own name. <sigh>

Well my typo (not spelling per say), is that, when I post something here and refer to my kids... I have been saying my daughter is 8.
Um... well she is NINE now! (recently).
I totally, forgot! I just realized, I was doing that, like 5 minutes ago. I managed to correct her age on a reply I did.
I feel so stupid.

I wish mamapedia had spell-check for our posts. If I'm struggling with a word (and realize it!), I open up an email and type it in. Then, I run a spell-check to make sure I have it right. I hate misspelling words!

answers from Dothan on

Some of my problem words:
* separate - seperate
* commitment - committment
The ones that seem to be a problem for others (not on this post, though):
* definitely (this is the correct spelling)
* Irregardless (this is NOT a word... the word is regardless)

It was fun to read what others have trouble with.
@ Theresa: "necessary" was a good one.

grey or gray

for some reason i want to put an extra l on words like wonderful(l) beautiful(l) plentiful(l), bountiful(l).......i guess that's because there should be one, by all rights because it means to be "full" of something.

I leave the apostrophes off of my contractions and possessive nouns, i neglect to capitalize and i overuse commas.

"to", and "too" are often slip ups for me(even though i know better).

answers from Redding on

My fingers do weird stuff on the keyboard lots of times. I just had to edit my "what happened" in a post because I had "it's till" instead of it still. I mean, why the heck would I bother to put in an apostrophe even, so goofy and not even had a drop to drink today.
I usually have trouble with ie words, like believe and conceive.. get em backwards and glad I get the little red underline to tell me I'm being less than precise in my spelling. Always, always, always when I type cousin I always add a g at the end--cousing. Drives me bonk.
