Words that you have a hard time spelling

Not many but the two that come to mind, which always trip me up enough so that I find a synonym or shortcut instead:

I am a 43 year old lawyer and I still misspell this regularly. I want to leave out the first "e".


To be fair, without the e is a perfectly acceptable spelling, but I work internationally.


As used in the American law, you should be leaving our your "e" between "g" and "m."

I constantly second guess myself on the double or single L words. Cancelling vs. Canceling, Travelling vs. Traveling. I know they're both technically correct, but whenever I type them out it feels wrong either way and I have to Google which one is correct in the US. I have not spent significant time in the UK so there is no real reason behind this second guessing.

I was coming to add bureaucracy! Thank goodness for autocorrect.

In 7th grade we had two words on our weekly spelling test every week until the entire class finally spelled them correctly:

Necessarily and particularly.

Tomorrow, broccoli, specifically any word where I’m not sure if there are two or one of a letter.
