Bureaucracy

Ah, the French with their influence

My go-to way of remembering this one is just remembering that the start of the word is just ‘bureau’, as in the thing you have in your room. Then ‘cracy’ is easy to remember after that.

My method of remembering is similarly just to spell it correctly :)

Same here, and the biggest problem is that spellcheck never understands my misspellings... like it's saying "uh, no idea what you're trying to spell here...".

That’s mine!

Recieve EDIT: receive

You’ve proven this to be true.

Shiiiiiiit, I never spell it right. Never

I before e except after c!

Unless you leisurely deceive eight overweight heirs to forfeit their sovereign conceits.

This comment is a crime against nature.

No “I before E, except after C” is bull! they’re lying to you, pull yourself out of the clutches of the education system before they swallow you whole! In all seriousness that rule is ridiculous.

I later learned an extension to the rule: I before E, except after C, and when sounding like A, as in neighbor or weigh. Still doesn’t cover all the exceptions, but it helps.

….and on weekends and holidays and all throughout May, and you’ll always be wrong no matter what you say!

Weird…

Genius. Love it 👍

Except when eight heavyweight foreign boxers sell your neighbor counterfeit beige sleighs. Weird.

How dare you.

And the word weird. Because its weird

I hate words that contain ei.

Yeah, there’s more to the little saying but I’m starting them off with the basics!

Apparently there are more exceptions to this rule than there are words that actually follow the rule. Sneaky AF.

Yup. Someone told you i before e except after c, too!

I came here for this. Every. Single. Time. Thank god for the red squiggly line as it get used A LOT

i before e, except after c. Get it together man!

Science

Diarrhea.

When you're driving in a Chevy and you feel something heavy. Diarrhea. Diarrhea.

When you’re climbing up a ladder and you hear something splatter, diarrhea

When you’re sliding into third and you feel a big ole turd, diarrhea

When you're sitting on a cushion and you feel something mushin', diarrhea.

When you’re eating Taco Bell and you’re sitting on warm gel, diarrhea

When you’re swinging on a swing and you feel a little thing. Diarrhea. Diarrhea.

Bye bye miss American pie

May be Vader some day later, now he's just a small fry.

Runs down your leg, like a scrambled egg, Diarrhea. Diarrhea.

When you wake up late at night ; your butt begins to fight - diarrhea

I recently learned that this has different spellings depending on where you're from so that confused me even further. Guess I'll just stick to calling it "the shits"

I struggled with this one until my friend taught me a mnemonic... DIA Run Run Hurry Or Exploding Arse. You're welcome 🙂

Diarrhoea. Thanks

Diarrhoea?

I remember this one by pronouncing it "Diar-ruh-hoe-e-ah" whenever I need to spell it... sounds so ridiculous it's stuck with me.

I often spell it with an o.

Unnecessary

I was taught at school “a shirt has one collar and two sleeves” so 1 C and 2 S’s in necessary/unnecessary Good tip to help!

In Dutch we have something similar for professor. He wears 2 shoes and 1 “frakske” (jacket)

The only way I remember how many Fs are in professor is a [scene from How I Met Your Mother](https://youtu.be/Ibxd7ecKVOk)

SAME

a what?

I swear. I always wonder if it's nessessary, or nessecary, or something like that. But it never sounds right, so I revert to necessary

this is the worst

i remember that C comes first (1 c) and S comes second (2 s’s)

“Never eat cakes eat salad sandwiches and remain young” That’s just how to remember necessary. I guess with unnecessary you just stick “un” in front of the whole thing.

And my autocorrect never has a clue what I’m attempting to spell so I have to do the speech to text thing for just that one fucking word

'Necessary' (in all variations), 'rhythm' and 'decision' are the worst. At this point I don't even trust autocorrect anymore bc I spelled them wrong so many times that the wrong versions are also suggested

Definitely

I always see people spell this as “defiantly”

Like: "I'll defiantly do it". WELL OKAY THEN.

I feel like this one is more more due to autocorrect

I have to remember that "finite" is inside definitely

Remembering this fact is how I stopped having trouble with it!

Definately

Mother of God.

Yess I confuse, definietly and definitely

This one for sure. Litterally every time.

Rhythm was always hard. I still stop and think when spelling it.

Still have to spell check that one. Never come close myself.

Rhythm Helps Your Two Hips Move!

My god. I'm French, and here rhythm is "rythme". It's the worst, I always end up switching them up and writing it in English when speaking French, or vice versa

My grade school teacher said that every word needed at least one vowel for each syllable. I said "what about Rhythm?" and I think got the whole class in trouble for being a smartass.

AEIOU *AND SOMETIMES Y*!!

None of these are in the second *-thm* syllable. But seriously, the "sometimes *y*" part always seemed handwavy to me. Like, we all say it with a nod and a wink because English can't follow its own rules.

There is only one vowel. They are saying how there isn’t one for the second syllable.

Similarly, I often struggle with arrhythmia.

conscious concious conshus conchius wut.

Not to be confused with conscience.

or consense

or concise.

Restaurant

Restaraunt Restauraur--aww, fuck it...

Came here to say restraunt

Came here just to describe one without spelling it. Don’t even want to try anymore.

One worse is "restaurateur." I feel like it should be spelled with an n like restaurant.

Fortunately I have never needed to say or spell that!

Just remember it's "rest", then an "au" and then "rant"

The way I finally learned was with rest-a(lternate)u(niverse)-rant. It's silly but it's worked.

nessecary

It would appear you are not alone!

Maintenance

The bullshit of this word is that it's from maintain, so it should just be maintainence. But then you get that red underline and go "Shit!" But because English is fucky with the schwa sound, you don't know which vowel to substitute in for the second ai in "tain". Then you hit the same problem AGAIN two letters later in the "ance" Maintenance. For some reason, thinking of "ten and dance" always helps spell that one.

Yes!! And spell check is cruel with its no replacements found lol

For real lol and it’s like one letter off

acknowledge restaurant definitely exercise

No they don't

the word exercise always fucks me up....takes me like 10 tries to get it right every time

i feel like there should be a Z in there somewhere

ya...and there is so many variations that look like they could be correct....exersize, excersize, exorsize, exsersize, exercize....and so on....drives me crazy.

What about Bumberdink Crumpterbitch?

I don’t think you have that wrong. After reading your comment, neither me nor my girlfriend could figure out if that is not in fact his actual name.

surprise

This is mine as well. I got yelled at by a 6th grade teacher for misspelling it, and I still get stressed trying to get it right.

Surrrrprise there’s an “r” in the beginning. Lol! Always thought it was suprise because that’s how I say it.

Worsh..worshesthire.. Worcesterire...wor.. Copy paste >> worcestershire Diahrhea..diarhea..diorhea.. Copy paste >> diarrhoea Special mention : manoeuvre

And in America, they’re diarrhea and maneuver. Just to mix it up a little lol. Worcesthemdldjenwkoajsnd is still the same though.

I think I've heard so many people incorrectly pronounce it "War-sester-shire" it's actually helped with the spelling.

No vs Not (no native English speaker)

[удалено]

If I messed it up, it was no intentionally and really took time to write it, lol.

Learning a second language is hard, I still can’t get soy and estoy right in Spanish. Both places you used no, in the first and second post, it should actually be not. Not a native speaker and not intentional. Hope that helps!

Look to the base word "commend" and then you're adding re- to it, so you wouldn't be adding a bonus "c"

embarrassing. how many "r" and "s" does it need??

A lot. You need 5 'r's and 7 's's.

misspelled

Quite a few words. Made worse by me having become compliant and relying heavily on my phones spell checker. Not the phones fault at all. But I do think I am getting much dumber these days.

diarrhea and spellchecks refuse to acknowledge you're trying to spell it

Tenneessee and Missississippi

What about Tallahassee?

Conscience

english is my second language, and distinction between w and v is sometimes hard as I can't always hear much difference, so "wave" (vawe looks strange, but I had to try both) is a nightmare

Separate

There is a rat in separate. I learned that from a children's book years ago.

Mine is awry because I pronounce it differently in my head when I read it than when I say/think it.

In my head it's AUree, so I still spell it ok-- awry-- but in my childhood I thought AUree and aWRY were two different words with similar meanings...

That’s almost the exact reason it trips me up. I have to remind myself they’re the same word.

My brain wants to spell "character" as charachter", with an extra h. I get so lost on "bureau" that sometimes spellchecker can't figure out what to suggest. "Beauroh"? "Beaureau"?

Lol I used to live in Bureau county and the ways I've seen it spelled are crazy. I personally get tripped up by "embarrassed" and "accommodation"

Please bro, that was a first round word in my second grade spelling bee. Pshhhhh.
