Mine: "queue".

I don't know what it is but without predictive taking a go at it from my ridiculous attempts I would take ages veggie my brain clicked. So frustrating! Lol

Anyone else have a word they have to wrangle like some demon serpent ? 😀

Corollary.

I can't even say the bloody thing, despite it being in quite frequent use in the scientist's vernacular.

Had to Google it (genuinely thought it was heart related... I know,I know...) and I can confidently say I am good to go with not knowing that one! I do feel your pain though !

Hmmm... No I think I'm ok with that one actually.

"Beautiful" used to be an issue but at some point I got my head around it.*

*Thigh I do still have to phonetically spell it to myself if I'm writing it down still!

*Ible *able *eble

Queue is also a good one.

Asses assess asess access.

Its a long list. Made worse by the fact that i am a terrible typer find it impossible to find mistakes when proof reading. I have a suspicion i'm mildly dyslexic.

90% of the time I type the word just I type it as jsut, not sure why - I know how to spell it but possibly something to do with the key positions makes me type it as jsut

Ophthalmology...

There's just too many "Hs" in there. Which is a pain as it's the largest specialism I manage.

I read Economics at Uni, started in 1988 so for me everything was hand written. My first assignment had the word Government spelled Goverment about 25 times. Each corrected in Red ink. What an idiot!!!

That lecturer turned out to be an arse BTW.

I've actually got to think about it whenever I need to write Technician. I really want to spell it 'Technitian'.

Some teacher at school taught us "It is necessary to wear one coat and two socks", and ever since I always pause over 'necessary' and say to myself "one coat, two socks" (one C, two S's).

Also, I remember the difference between principle and principal by an episode of The Simpsons where Principal Skinner says "Remember, the Principal is your pal".

Nope, but I always thought that calling Dyslexia 'Dyslexia' was a tad cruel.
