Anonymous wrote:Business - I always want to spell buisness, which I think makes more sense!

In highschool newspaper class, one of the student editors laughed and laughed at me in front of everyone for spelling business correctly. "It's not BUSY-NESS! Hahaha, duh!"

So, I darn sure always remember how to spell business because I was right and was vindicated when I showed her the dictionary. And in my imagination, I chest bumped everyone and flexed my muscles and everyone applauded and the editor cried.

Lol, this is such a nerdy fantasy (said with love, because I could see doing and thinking the same thing).

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

Is it different in a legal context?

I struggle with both of these too. I hate Cincinnati and the fact that I have to work so hard to spell it only deepens that loathing. Now Cleveland -- what a straightforward, delightful city! Love it.

Midwest
some of my tax stuff goes there, that's a tough one for me since it's not frequent enough to remember.

Otherwise, I'm good at spelling. License used to be a challenge, but I have that down.

To the lawyer--judgment is correct. Once I proofread a college friend's paper (before computers, erasable typing paper) and erased all the extra e's. His review committee (2 people) chucked about the "holes in your judgments." It may be your colleagues who are wrong? This is assuming you are in the US.

I know the New Yorker uses English conventions for words like "focused" which they spell "focussed." Rule in US is if the syllable ending in a single consonant is not stressed you type the letter once.

When I type "antibiotic" my fingers hit an "l" 90% of the time ""antibioltic").

I always think this is such a stupid word - 5 letters and 4 of them are silent! But it’s easy to remember, u is always after q, so you know it starts “qu.” Then just remember the “e” and remember the vowels repeat “ue” followed by “ue.” Hope that helps!

At my work people are always writing "que" (as in "work in the que") and it drives me nuts. It's in a lot of written procedures too. Que is Spanish for "what." Cue is what you use to remind someone of their lines.

Appetizers. We're serving appetizers.
OK, looked it up. Hors d'oeuvres. Why. Just why.

SAME! I always switch it to appetizers because I can’t spell HD.

Also, +1 to broccoli

And I think it’s judgment when using it in the legal sense but judgement when you are talking about someone’s decision making in regular context?

Same. One r or two, one f or two?
Also: cemetery

So what am I if I can spell all the above words correctly? I started reading at age 4 and I'm first generation (meaning first born here of parents who immigrated). I wanted to be a lawyer but didn't have the support.
