I hope you caught the humor in the title.
I've always considered myself to be a good speller, but lately, I've found more and more words that I have trouble with. I'm sure it's because I type more often, but misspellings bother me.
Definitely- I keeps spelling it "definately" or "defenitely". I know it's wrong, but I can't figure it out!
Accompanist- I know- it's so simple, but it is like a brick wall. A-ccom-pa-nist. I wind up butchering this one. "Acompanist" or "accompanmist" tends to be the result of my effort.
Knowledgable- Generally, I can spell this correctly. Lately, though, I have to sound it out.
Uncharacteristically- It's not a word I use very often, but boy do I get lost in those letters!
Necessary- I usually catch this one, but I tend to add a "c".
Technologically- "Technologigically" is the usual spelling.
All these are simple words that just happen to give me a problem. What do you misspell?
Even with these ordinary words misspelled, I manage to have words that I never spell incorrectly.
Pyschiatrist, pyschologist, physical, sophomore, mischievious, and receiving have never bothered me. There are many more, but that's a short list of some words I see misspelled frequently.
Definitely, that accompanist is uncharacteristically technologically knowledgable about Brahms- it is not necessary to impress me.
