For me it used to be 'definitely'. I used to spell it how I pronounce it as 'definantly'.
Now it's query and queries Lol I saw it in the title of another thread.
Is that how it's spelt? My trusty iPhone hasn't changed the spelling so I assume it's right but it looks so wrong lol!

'Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis'. I always used to leave out the second to last 'i'. :doh:

Clumsy. For some reason I always try to sneak a B in there (clumbsy).
And manoeuvre gets me sometimes too.
I used to have trouble spelling diarrhoea until I was doing medico-legal typing and believe me, after typing the same word more than 20 times a day you soon learn how to spell it! LOL
I get a giggle out of seeing the word "pregnate" used on here, too. (I assume they're thinking of the term "impregnate").

Lol I know the answer to this! It's definitely :):):) i have to break down the word in my mind when I spell it because I don't actually pronounce the dam word like that- it's a sneaky one haha.
There's actually a few wirds in here that I wouldn't be able to spell and don't even know the meaning to, thank god my life is they dull haha!
I used to also struggle with vehicle in school and alchohol??? Is that it lol?

Conceive, I tend to always spell it concieve. LOL.
I struggle with definitely too! I have no idea why, it is not a difficult word and I am a good speller. Accommodation always throws me too.
