In reply to Evil HR Lady. I was the first speller down in 5th grade as well. Analyze. I don't think I have misspelled it since.

I’d like to see the map of which states more prevalently make nouns plural by adding apostrophe-s.

I always have to stop and think if I spelled congratulations right. For some reason I want to put a d in place of the 1st t.

I always misspell chores for some dumb reason; when I type, it comes out “chorse.” Every. Squidlippin’. Time.

In reply to grannybunny. I lost the 5th grade spelling bee too on the word especially. I've never forgotten how to spell it

In reply to Keith m.

The word “weird.” After spelling numerous much-harder words, I lost the 5th Grade Spelling Bee after mentally reviewing the “I before e…” meme and misspelling it “weird.” I’ve had a mental block about the word for 6 decades since.

As a Wisconsinite, I’m a little embarrassed by our word.

I’m also embarrassed to admit that I work in public education but frequently have to double check how to spell “attendance.”

Weird – I’m not seeing any pattern with thes, for example, that Things would get mispelled due to regional dialects
