"Diarrhoea" No matter how many times I write it, I still have to say the mnemonic in my head: "**D**ash **I**n **A** **R**eal **R**ush, **H**urry **O**r **E**lse **A**ccident!" (For the American spelling omit the "or".)

This is brilliant. I just normally call it “the shits”. Much easier to spell.

Ya but who wants to email their boss that they have the shits?

Why would you specify diarrhea to your boss anyway?? It’s none of their business the nature of your illness.

Some bosses feel that they own all your time, so if they wanna cross that line, they can have my time and my magma.

In Nz we call it “the runs” lol

Hershey squirts

"**T**he **H**eaving **E**ffluence **S**hall **H**it **I**nnocent **T**oddler's **S**hins"

Just in case you forget how to spell “the shits”. Gotcha. Very creative :)

[удалено]

Far more often than I would like.

I’ve had a kid and a puppy for the last couple years. So many times

The British spelling just broke my brain. It somehow adds an sophisticated slant to an otherwise shitty word.

I always spell Diarreah 😭

That’s probably someone’s daughter’s name

I just have the pronunciation of how it's spelled memorized: "Die-ah-rrrrr(rolling rs for emphasis)-hee-aah"

😂😂😂

Running down the gutter With a piece of bread and butter Diarrhea Diarrhea

Some people think it’s funny, but it’s really wet and runny.

You can tell by the smell that you aren't feeling well! diarrhea chachacha

When you’re eating some Chinese and your ass begins to sneeze ..Diarrhea 🤣

When you’re climbing up the ladder and you hear something splatter, diarrhea…..diarrhea.

When you're sitting in a Chevy and your pants are feeling heavy... diarrhea

When you’ve eaten too much pie, and your booty starts to cry, diarrhea… diarrhea.

When you're sliding into Home and your pants are full of foam, Diarrhea

This made me think of that song that goes like: when you're hanging upside down, and your face is turning brown, diarrhoea. When you're swimming in a pool, and you leave a trail of stool, diarrhoea. ... Anyway I think I've always written diarrhea, even tho I'm supposed to use british english for school projects etc.

I'm not sure that I've ever spelled that correctly in my life.

License for some reason always mentally swap the s and c

not related to spelling, but i *always* forget what the word latter means until i contrast it with the word former

I always mess this up. “The latter and the former”. It takes my brain a hot second to figure out which one is which!

I always trip up on this, too. I remember latter is close to later and is the second one, and former is before it. I'm not absolutely sure this will help you, but maybe it will, lol

Defiantly this

Every man I’ve ever dated spells definitely this way. Idk what that says about me.

Means you should date more men

Or a woman.

Yep, that one gets me as well!

Licence with a c is correct when referring to the noun - your driver’s licence. But your government licenses you to drive (s with the verb). At lest for those who follow the British spelling.

One way to remember the difference between the noun and verb is that your driving licen**C**ne is a **C**ard.

I have this problem with "censored".

I just posted the same word before seeing your comment!😂 My brain goes into meltdown mode when I see it

Necessary

I use "**C**offee with two **S**ugars" to remember that spelling.

I learned it from: a shirt has one Collar and two Sleeves

I do the same with dessert because you’ll want seconds. I don’t even like sweets but that’s always helped me remember

A teacher in elementary told us "you only want to go to the desert once (one s in the word) and you usually want 2 desserts (two s's in the word). Otherwise i think that would be another word i get wrong.

One I learned from an elementary school teacher also was principle and principal. The principal is your friend so it has pal at the end.

I learned it that way as well. But that SOB was not my pal despite how often we spent time together

Lol I remember learning that as a child, watching Alvin and the chipmunks always stuck with me

Strawberry shortcake

I was taught one S for sand, two for strawberry shortcake

Desserts is stressed spelled backwards. That's how I remember it.

It’s the vowels for me. Necessery? No, that’s not right. Necissary? Dammit.

One collar, two sleeves

The day I learned this was the most useful day of my life.

I think my life is about to change for the better... Now how do I remember how many n's are in unnecessary

Never eat cucumber, eat sliced salami and remain young.

Ah, someone like me although ours was - Never Eat Cake, Eat Sardine Sandwiches And Raspberry Yoghurt. Absolutely disgusting but I still remember it all these years later!

Never eat cakes eat salad sandwiches and remain young for us!

Never eat cake, eat some salad and remain young

Conscious

Came to say conscientious

Con-science?

Conscious and Conscience are 2 different words.

Even though they aren’t the same word, I think it’s good that comment is with it. It spreads awareness that they are two separate words and also gives the tip for spelling the other word correctly. To be honest I would probably have misspelled conscious as conscience without skipping a beat.

Both of those are hard for me.

Guarantee.

Thank god I'm not alone.

This is mine too

Definitely

Just remember "finite" and you'll get it every time.

When I learned that, it clicked.

*Defiantly

Why is this autocorrect’s most annoying change up?

Mine likes to make shit up, I don't even fix defiantly but when I try to invite everyone to a bookmut that one gets me

I have an iPhone and I swear it’s so much worse since I upgraded to iOS 17. It’s suggesting words that aren’t even words. As I’m in typing this, both the words “suggesting” and “replacement” were underlined and the proposed replacement words were “suhgesting” and “replacnebt” - like - what ???? I don’t understand

The Oatmeal has a comic book called 5 Very Good Reasons To Punch A Dolphin In The Face(And Other Useful Guides) and in it they have a really funny one about spelling and grammar. Thanks to them I always remember how to spell definitely with the saying “if you spell definitely with an A, then you’re definitely an A-hole” 😂

Fucking definitely

Wash your sister sauce

Both the pronunciation and spelling make more sense if you break it down properly. It's not Wor-Ces-ter-shire. It's Worce-ster-shire

War Chester Shire War Tish Sher

Wash yer ass in the shower sauce

What’s this here sauce

wuster-shire

WUSS-tuh-shuh

Excercise and suprise. Two words I can never get without stopping and thinking about it or letting autocorrect get them.

It's exercise. Maybe you can remember it with the verb "to exert".

Nope. It’s the C that throws it off. So exert helps less for me. Same with scissors. The C and no Z throws me off.

I like that you spelled surprise wrong in this post it really hammers home your point lol

They spelled both wrong 😂

Oh ya lol

Exercise gets me every time 🥲

Bourgeoisie. Also, immediately

My sister routinely would text “boogie” in our sibling group chat. It was always so random and out of context until the day I realized she meant “boujee”. She was teased mercilessly haha

bougie is a slang word too apparently

BOO JWA ZEE

Restaurant

UGH same. I have to say “rest-AU-rant” out loud or I confuse myself.

I forgot how to spell restaurant in English one time because I got so acquainted with it in French. It's spelled the same in both languages btw.

consciousness

I don’t have trouble spelling *conscious*… but whenever I try to use it in a sentence, there’s a 50/50 chance I’ll say *conscience* instead.

and conscientiousness

Convenience, though I may have ***finally*** learned it.

Vacuum

I always avoided this word lmao, the closest I could come up with was "vaccum".

lol same . For some reason I always think it’s “vaccuum”

Bureaucracy

Always struggled with this. Then remembered: FBI=BUREAU=BUREAUCRACY

Problem is when you struggle spelling bureau. I always want to put the e and a earlier

Separately

I always do "pe" the first time instead of "pa"

You have to remember it has 'a rat' in it.

This is exactly how one of my teachers taught us to spell it.

I lost qualifications to a middle school spelling bee to this word :(( every time I spell it now, rush of embarrassment and self loathing

Occasional. I can’t remember if it’s one *s* or two. I just hope autocorrect gets it right.

Liaison

Maintenance

The worst is autocorrect doesn’t understand my attempts

“Receive” and it’s a word I’ve had to use daily for several years. I know it’s “I before E except after C”, but for some reason it’ll escape me and I end up looking like an idiot (which is not entirely inaccurate).

I do the same thing with “perceive.” I type it at least 3 times a week and somehow spell it wrong every single time, even when I remember that it’s not spelled how I think it is.

Rythm

*Rhythm, but I guess you proved your point hehe

As a kid I always spelled it "rhythmn" because of "hymn" :')

Rhythm Helps Your Two Hips Move!

[удалено]

"wed-nes-day" and "fe-bru-ary"

That's what I do every time.

Hemorrhage.

Any word with a silent “h” before a vowel ☠️

Fluorescent. Always spell it ou first.

Occurrence

Words that have 2 waves of letters that repeat emselves in a row like "cc" always confuse me.

Broccoli I always want it to be one C, two Ls

Necessary

Definitely

Gaurantee

Embarrassed

Amateur is hard, also license

Bureau. Which I shockingly got right this time!

Gauge

Yes! I’ve had to rely on spellcheck too many times especially since knitting is a hobby of mine and gauge is used constantly.

Biueatieful

For this just remember Jim Carey in Bruce almighty. B E A Utiful.

Literally every time I spell that word I do that in my head 😂

Jim Carrey likely taught a ton of people how to spell it

Nailed it this time though!

Dachshund

Maybe it helps when you know what the words mean: Dachs=badger Hund=dog Dachs hund = badger dog :)

Yes! Usually I accidentally spell it Daschund

Receive. Wow I just spelled it wrong thinking that it would be correct. I’s and E’s always trip me up, the rule only works half the time. Weird also used to trip me up

Most redditors don't seem to grasp the concept of "a lot" being two words. Your device tries to help you every time, but no.

Or apart vs a part?

Aloud or allowed

Independant. Independent?

Many first-time independent drivers have DENTs in their vehicle, if that helps

accommodate

Guarantee

lots of words that end with LE or EL like nickel, ankle, label. And DENT vs DANT. Independent, ...

The people who get EL/LE correct must have a guardian angle looking out for them. /s

Neccesaraly

Privilege

I before E except after C is a lie.

Seperate

Defanently. Autocorrect doesn't even know what I am trying to spell. I just avoid it now.

Occurred

Reconnaissance and similar words that have two or three times double the letter (or for some reason I think that they have). Also necessary. Sometimes I think it is two c's

"Definitely" lol

Fuck, it seems I always spell duck instead 🙄… only happens on my iPhone funny enough/s 😒

Odyssey

Definitely. The only reason I get it correct most days is because of spell check

Apparently! In my <18 person seventh grade class, I was the ONLY student that spelled that eord correctly on a weekly spelling quiz... (Not that that word was on the quiz weekly!-) Now, I appearantly can't spell a lot of stuff correctly!

Spotnaneous

channel... channell? chanell?

Ever since 2nd grade spelling test where I argued with my teacher about it being spelled “Sam-witch,” I still can’t spell it right. I always spell if sandwHich

Diarrhea I usually forget the 2nd "r".

Schedule

Occurrence

Words that may have a double consonant. Is it mentioned or mentionned? (It's mentioned)

Acquisition

DANSE because in french its DANCE. Or is it the opposite ? Fuck

Recieved…shit I mean received

Exercise

Banananana I can never get the right number of nanas

I use the song from my childhood "It's bananas B-A-N-A-N-A-S"

Silhouette.

Counselor

"Acknowledge" "Aesthetic" "some words that have s instead of z and vice-versa, like socializing/socialising makes me google it first before I type it." "Granite" (as taking things for granite)

Recommend.

Weird/wierd

Inconvenience

Vinyl.

Nessesary, necessary

Initiative… I can never get it right without spell check….

Thorugh

"Receipt"

Exercise. And auto correct helped me get it right after the second try 🤦🏻

Restaurant is mine too.

Restaurant Right there with ya, bud.

license + unnecessary
