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.

These two get me too. Along with occasionally. I think it's the double letter issue for all of these.
Also:
maintenance
accrued (and I'm an accountant)
Accommodate can accommodate 2 c’s and 2 m’s.

Sheriff. I have to type this word frequently at work and I can never remember how many Rs and Fs.

ALWAYS. You'd think I would learn, but I don't. The more I think about the worse it gets.
Same here!
Also:
Separate (I always try seperate first)

That’s not surprising. What WOULD be surprising is if you didn’t know how to spell “ambulance” or “overbill.”
Haha you win

Some of mine are on this thread. I feel seen!
My words are:
Separate
Definitely
Calendar
It drives me crazy every time I write these words I have to think about it.

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.
Why would anybody need to write the word Cincinnati unless they’re talking about chili?
DP...I came to post Cincinnati too. My office used to have a branch there. It was closed in recent years. Now I get to just type NY!
