Are there any words you find hard to spell? Here’s my collection of tweets over the past few years that shares my difficult words:
“rubbage” is actually spelled “rubbish?” #learningtospell
I tend to spell simplier instead of simpler, which is ironic, because I’m making the word more complex. #learningtospell
simplest? wow. i thought it was simpliest. #learningtospell
Wow. cemetery has a lot of e’s in it. Seems like that last one should be an a. #learningtospell
Huh, there is no second u in curiosity. #learningtospell
Manila is spelled with one l? What’s next? Vanilla?
Wait, so the printmaking term “chine colle” is not spelled shingolay? #boywasioffalltheseyears
Huh, there is no second u in curiosity. #learningtospell
Galileo is hard to spell
Don’t try to overcomplicate “anemone” when you spell it.
The word camouflage disguises itself through difficult spelling

Do you have any words you just recently learned how to spell? Please share your hard-to-spell words in the comments of this blog post.
I’ve bene having a hard time with the word “scheduleing” lately In general, I am a very good speller. More often than not if I spell a word incorrectly I blame my typing skills I won the 3rd grade spelling bee by spelling ‘cafe’
scheduleing! haha. save that e and put it in your pocket! Whoa. 3rd grade spelling pro! I recently went to “Spell Yeah” a spelling bee for adults at the Oak Park library. It was intense.
I was very disappointed during my freshman year of high school to be told that “business” is not spelled “buisness”.
Two things: Tom – “bene”? Matt – Styrofoam is a brand name, hence the capitalization. Kind of like Dumpster. Or Kleenex! #themoreyouknow
Holdthephone. Dumpster is a brand name? No it isn’t. You are lying.
I’m NOT lying! It’s in the AP Stylebook! You want to hear something that’s really going to blow your mind? Escalator is a brand name, too. The generic term is “moving staircase.”
Dumpster is a genericized trademark of Dumpster, a American brand name for a type of mobile garbage bin (MGB). Generic usage of dumpster is also common in Australia, although Dumpster is not an established brand there.
