I used to misspell "weird" all the time because I thought it was always I before E.

I before E except after C. However there is one "weird" exception to the rule. ^_^x

Another one that gives me trouble is "exist". I feel a strong compulsion to put an S after the X.

I can't remember how to spell 'imagine', I tend to write it with a double M. Don't ask me why though *shrugs*

i myself have an odd dilemma. i often confuse the letter "f" with the number "5," constantly interchanging them with each other. its' the same with "x" and "6," as well as "v" and "7." i have absolutely no idea why, but it almost always happens.

That IS odd *lol* Do you confuse those when you're typing on your computer only, or in real life letters too?

"Family" My step-mother's a witch. I dunno why, I guess I just don't like to use the word after that.

You ever have words that bug you because they look misspelled, even though they aren't? Post them here.

My most recent one is 'stretch'.

Mmmm, yeah; saying 'could' always bothers me ... I sometimes have to check with my mother if I spelled it right ;O

A couple times a year I forget how to spell "answer" once I start thinking about it.

Unfortunately. Why is the "e" after the "at" if it's fortune?

Also nesessarily. Isn't there a "c" or something?

Oh, and dilemma. I always think it should be spelled "dilemna." It looks cooler that way. xd
