    Default Words You Misspell

    Are there any words you misspell a lot despite being generally good at spelling?

    I misspell obsolete, mostly due to the Southern accent pronouncing the o like a short i.

    I actively try to avoid misspelling words, so I think I have a pretty good track record. The bigger issue for me is trying to figure out whether or not I use proper sentence structure.

    In the past I've had trouble misspelling the word misspell, ironically.

    I still have trouble with the correct use of "has" and "have".

    I don't misspell words, unless it is a word I actually do not know how is spelled, like if I have never seen it used before.

    Well, there's also instances of me hitting the wrong keys on my keyboard, but that's a whole different thing.

    I don't generally misspell words unless I'm typing too fast and not paying attention. I more have a problem with spelling words correctly and then thinking it was misspelled so I have to check it, one such word is "home". It never looks right.
    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!

    I have hyperlexia, so I've never had this problem.

    It also came in handy with spelling bees.

    I tend to get convenience wrong most of the time, ironic since it's a word I have to type in some form or variation daily.

    I mis-type .com as .cok a lot. I think it's some Freudian smurfery going on in my head.

    Rantz has corrected me from spelling "arguement" to "argument".
