    Randy~ Those are just finger reaches from typing.  If you were to hand-write me a letter, I don't think  you would write yop.  Maybe retreive, but not fir the better of the letter.  Maybe becasue you type so much, your fingers get tired.

    Many words with 'ie' or 'ei'. Why can't we do it like the Germans?

    I am not prone to misspelling words. I may make occasional typos.

    Any word that contain a 'v' or a 'W'. I comes from having a language that do not differentiate between those 2 letter, They sound identical to me.

    I have the same problem Welby.  Onomatopoeia is such a hard word to spell and the meaning is just the opposite. You won't believe this but the our clock just went cuckoo, telling me it's time to feed the cats who are meowing.  BOOM! It seems these words sound exactly as they are spelled, yet onomatopoeia doesn't.  Winks and smiles!

    missspell
    tommorrow
    massage vs. message 
    dessert vs. desert

    The last two might pertain to a different question but I rarely seem to put them in the correct places.  I know what each mean, just not the spelling when I use them. This post was edited by Merlin at January 9, 2018 5:41 AM MST

    "Absence"

    Our youngest was sick a lot as an elementary school student (asthma).

    Every time I had to write a note, I had to double check the spelling (vs absense).
