problems with words - spelling
anyone else have this. there are certain words I just cannot spell, I use them a lot and always end up using the "smell pecker" to check it and usually it can't find them with the way I'm spelling them
anyone else have any fav words they just can't spell ? my 2 are Warranty and also Guarantee , I usually end up abbreviating them to w'tee or g'tee anyone else have any ? |

I'm usually ok, maybe I slip up in some grammar if I post quickly and can't be bothered to proofread.
Admittedly, I find it weird esp seeing stuff on car forums like my 'breaks' are fading or that 'Alpha' Romeo looks nice. How could car guys get these basic things wrong? |

for me it's always Tyres,
now this is a different thing,,, spelling NA English as opposed to int. English Ok I get that, I'm used to spelling Colour, Tyres etc, for 45 some odd years so it's a hard habbit to break lucky I have an American Spellchecker Sometimes I don't autocorrect because TYRES is right god dammit LOL |

The majority of the time it’s grammar for me that I struggle with. Having attended both German and Americans schools growing up, I always found myself struggling and dealing with grammar issues. Happens quite frequently, especially on Bimmerpost!

I am a HORRIBLE speller.
Anything with a lot of I, E or A, they are all interchangeable to me. Words like Independence or benifits or seperate ..............nfi what I am doing, like none. |

I spell gray w/ an 'e' and color w/ the 'u' just because neither is technically wrong and, being both a Monty Python and early Guy Ritchie fan, I feel qualified to.

There are a few words I have to think about while spelling. I have more of an issue with typing to fast on the keyboard and everything gets jumbled up, or when using my phone I always hit "b" instead of the space bar and Ibendbupbwithbwholebtextsblikebthis.
I can't stand when people type out run-on sentences, or when they can't figure out the difference between breaks and brakes, their, there, and they're, know, no, now, etc.

I tend to omit words while typing, so I usually (but not always) go back and proof read. When I'm not sure about spelling, I usually Google it. So easy.
