How many times have you sat down to write a story, then a word pops into your mind, and you think you know how to spell it? You begin to type it out and....uh-oh, that doesn't look right. Then you try spelling it a little differently, maybe add a letter here or subtract a letter there. Then......OH MY GOODNESS!! That DEFINATELY doesn't look right!! Just so you can avoid that dreadful time with Webster, you keep trying different ways of spelling it until you think you've got it right. I admit, at one time, that was me. Back in school, I use to be rather good in spelling. Now, it seems, over the years time has a way of changing things. I'm not so good at spelling as I once was. But...thanks to the good ol' dixshunairee, (uh-uhm) I mean, dictionary, or maybe I should say thanks to my friend, Webster, I can learn to spell those words that seem to trip me up occassionally. Yes, did you notice I just misspelled that word? (The correct spelling is o-c-c-a-s-i-o-n-a-l-l-y.) It's the bigger words that always seem to have me running to my friend Webster. What's your story? Does Webster seem to be your close friend at times?

Hahahaha! I admit, I have DEFINITELY always had a problem with DEFINATELY....

(That DEFINATELY doesn't look right!! )

***LOL! The correct spelling is DEFINITELY!!!
Sorry, B2N. I just HAD to catch that one because I have TYPED that word the exact same way myself, and spell-check has RED-LINED me EVERY time!

Fun post!
;>)

Oh, and OCCASIONALLY is one of them I get wrong MOST of the time, also!

Hahahaha!

my rule........whenever I'm typing and the "little red line" comes up under a word....I make three attempts.....if it's still there...I just go with my first attempt.....good enough...

there have been times when spellcheck has failed me.....it's no biggie really.....at least to me it's not......I don't have a dictionary near by....and like you....i used to consider myself a fair speller.....

I am guilty of not proofreading my comments before I post them......but that's just me...

I'm like you, Back 2 - who knew that at my age, I spend more time in the dictionary, than any other book in the house. LOL

( and, I once won a spelling bee - ages ago )

LOL Furbie, I know what you mean. It seems I am constantly looking up a word that I thought I knew how to spell. :)

Great post, B2N!

Yes, I'll admit it, that Webster has been my trusty friend over the years. I missed out on getting a 100 on my junior theme because I misspelled "simultaneously". I still have to look that one up!
