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'.

That looks right...I know I've seen some, I just can't remember any of them...

I don't know about you, but 'attach' and 'separate' always make me cringe when I see them. The first thing I think is, "AUGH, SPELL CHECK."

Publicly. I have always spelled it "publically" and only recently found out that it's spelled the other way. My way looks correct, yet isn't.

Since I'm a dumb Iowan, I seem to always say "thet" instead of "that." Whenever I write "that" I spell it like the correct way, yet wonder how one can get "that" out of the word "thet."

I have one word for all of you: "Though." A simple, common word, that looks like it fell into some sort of meat-grinder-esque machine.

Until recently, 'rendezvous' was one of my pet peeves, spellingwise.

The one I hate the most, is 'awkward'. I always have to check that one. Which is annoying, because I use it often...

Aye, the double-"W"'s always mess me up.

That must be awkward. xd How appropriate.

I tend to miss out ones of the Rs in "appropriate" when I write it. It somehow looks right with only one of the Rs. (Even then, sometimes I miss the first one, sometimes the second one. sweatdrop )

Tired. It's simple enough, but I often spell it wrong. Same with weird, only not so often (I remembered them that time).

"Weird" and "Economies" always bug me. I think that "Weird" should be spelled with the "I" before the "E". In "Economies", I want to change the "IE" into a "Y"
