I used to be a good speller. Now – not. There are always words I’ve questioned when writing them – cereal and license come to mind. (Ceareal and lisence) ‘Weird’ looks wrong to me no matter how I spell it.
Once while helping with a presentation, I was writing our brainstorming ideas on a giant tablet and realized I didn’t know how to spell curriculum…. in front of bunch of teachers. Oops. Now, I have a pirate chant that helps with that (say it in a pirate-y voice) – “See you! Arr arr, I see you, El you em!”
I’m sure there are more I have trouble with, and I’ll add them as I remember them.
