    Necessary (probably my #1)
    Alleviate

    I was just thinking about this (literally) along with the pronunciation of some words -- that is some classic baader-meinhof phenomenon.

    Separate has always been my nemesis since the 2nd grade spelling bee.

    I usually have less problem with spelling than typing. I have a really difficult time not capitalizing the second letter. FRustrates the heck out of me.

    I’m dyslexic and frequently have problems typing on my phone. Also spell check and autocorrect aren’t often my friend and will instead fill in words I didn’t intend when I type. I’ve often read back over posts I’ve made and cringe at how sloppy they are.

    I think I only started spelling "feud" right about a year ago. The eu words in general are hard for me. It's a stupid combination of letters.

    I don't misspell anything, I just use a weird mix of British and American spelling.
