Not only is it one of those words - depending on how you misspell it - even spellcheck can't find it!

I always misspell misspell

when I was a kid I always misspelled remember as rember

Funny Lynn.

In school, we were taught "i before e except after c 'cos anythin' else is weird"


B.

You brought back the old spelling/prounounciation (did I spell that right?) rules.

We learned:
I before E except after C
or when sounding like A
as in Neighbor and Neigh.

And

When two vowels go walking
the first does the talking. (But that's backwards in German!)

There must have been more but they escape me!

guarantee - I can never spell it right - never!  and bureau - if I just type it without thinking it turns out okay, but if I hesitate even slightly, I foul it up.

I was a spelling bee champ in school, but 35 trs of teaching have thrown all kinds of kinks into my spelling.
