Is there a word that you always have to look up in order to spell right?

Question

For me it's bureau, or bureaucratic. For some reason I can never spell that word right unless I look it up. It's a hard word to remember!

Answer 1

i agree, ive never just picked that word up for some reason, also sincerily lol....or congratulations

Answer 2

Albuquerque

I always wonder if the first e is supposed to be a u, I mean the u is supposed to be an e. For some unknown reason, I've memorized the rest of the word. Don't live there, don't know anyone there. It's just a wierd word to me.

I stumble on body parts too: Esophagus, diarrhea, phlegm, etc...

So many rules in the English language, and so many, many words that don't follow the rules!

Answer 3

I had to look it up just to put it here, but my word is convenient.
I use that word a lot when talking to my family. Example: "Well how convenient for you that it happened that way!" I'm sure I misspell many many more words, but that is the one that bothers me the most because I use it so often and I just can't remember how to spell it.

Answer 4

For me it's definitely...

Thats because I always think of the root word... Define.

So I want to throw an E in there a little early.

Answer 5

My problem word in the spelling bee here on Yahoo Answers is the word that rhymes with Luck and Buck . . . But starts with the letter "F" . . . Every time that I type it here it always comes out as ****!

Answer 6
