    Default Words you keep misspelling

    I can't spell definitely. The only reason it's spelled properly there is because of spell check. And no matter how many times I see it spelled definitely I continue to spell it definetly.

    I've always been good with definitely! I still think your way of spelling it is better than people who spell it "defiantly."

    No no no no no no.

    My problem words are separate and sequel. I always want to put seperate and sequal.

    Separate is one of the words I have the most problems with. In my mind, it's spelled "seperate" but I'm aware it's spelled separate.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    None of them because I am a fantastic speller.

    Using words that don't exist though, that's a different story.

    I was bad with "definitely" too until I realized it has the word "finite" in the middle. Now I just need to conquer restaurant and refrigerator. Both of which I spelled right just now, but I tell you it was tense.

    "Judgment" is annoying because I keep expecting there to be an e in there, like judgement.

    When someone spells "definitely" as "defiantly", I imagine them being an elcor.

    I'm worse with my pronunciation than with my spelling, but I would prefer if pronunciation was spelled pronounciation. I'm not a big fan of random inconsistency.

    There is a word I can't spell properly, but I can never seem to remember what it is until I go to use it... then I stare are the word vexedly and use spell checker.

    Also definitely used to be a trouble word for me till I broke it down one day and now its de-fi-nite-ly.
