And I never understand why.
And they are left wrong here. Add your grammatical Achilles heel too.

Another word I always spell wrong is my password, ************. I always have to redo that like 6-7 times before I get it right, even after all this time :nope:

Armor, theater, harbor, etc... For some reason I use the British spelling all the time, except when I don't. :hmmm:
Nothing else comes to mind at the moment, but I know there are other words I consistently fail to spell corekly.

Ocassion is the one I always have to go to Dictionary.com to get right.
And yes, it's wrong here.

I used to think I make horrible spelling mistakes in English. I used to think spelling English is difficult. Then I started studying Russian...
That being said, I never know if it's "worshipping" or "worshiping". And bunch of others. I get the "its" and "it's" wrong all the time, so the sentences don't make any sense. And then there is the "huh? What do you mean I spell this word wrong? I have spelled it like this for ten years" category.
Expecting the spelling mistakes in this post to get pointed out in 3...2...1...

Saw my mate outside the Doctor's today looking really worried.
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"I've got the big C,"he said.
"What, cancer?"
"No, dyslexia."
I used to have a few problems with Transdneister...but then I had to write it...a lot and now I don't have any problems with it. The capital of Tuva still gives me problems, Kzyrl or Kyzyl or something like that.
Otherwise there's a few words I spell wrong but Firefox gives me a red squiggly line and I amend them, or tell Firefox to stop being so bloody American.
Pronunciation is another fun game, on the old BF1942 mod DCX there was a map called "Pacific Threat" which was real fun, had an Akula and a 688 in it, but can I saw Pacific Threat? In the end me and Nagy wound up calling it "Specific Threat" because of my absolute inability to say Pacific.

Heh...
When I was a little kid, I had trouble saying the 'tr' sound... it always came out sounding like 'f'
Soooo... Mom and I are in a busy grocery one day... a delivery truck pulls up... I scream out "Mommy! Look at the Big TRuck!"
You can imagine her embarrassment
Ironic, I used to have a problem with Th sounds, still do to some extent, even went to classes for it once a long time ago.

I mispronounced Th quite a lot a while back, but I think I've mostly sorted that out.
It seems to me that almost any time I try to pronounce R, though, it comes out wrong. Only happens when I'm speaking English, though.
As for spelling, one that I consistently misspell is Lyb...Libya. Another one which got me until recently was aweful, which I then learned was actually spelled awful. There are probably more, but I can't think of any at the moment.

That's understandable. Half the people in your nation have a problem making pretty much every sound in your own language, even when they're not actively making up words. :O:
Ah cain't judge, though. Bein' a Texan an' all. When it comes to grammaticality an' spelling an' all that..... well sir, we just plumb fall off the horse. 'Round here we still think "ain't" is a word. If'n ya take my meanin'.

Well, now, see, there's y'all's problem. If'n'y'all'd spend moar time in the real south, down neah Birminham or even south Gawga, then y'all'd be speakin' like a bunch o'folks oughta be speakin', steada that strange way y'all's gota turnin'a word. Now those folks down Loseyanna way... those folks' jus' plumb crazy.

Wellsir, Texas a mighty big place. I reckon we're just as much "North an' West" as we are South. Ah don't figger many Texans get as far East as Alabama, tho. Ah don't intend any ahffence, but their just plain ain't no reason to ever leave Texas. Gawd's awnest truth.
Now them lousyannans, well we got us some common ground there. Them folks r' jest plain slow.

Oi Oi Oi, what's all this about? You takin' the mick? I would post a coupla vids 'ere with some top notch Cockney, but is all the swearin' innit? They don't like it, so you'll just ahfta yootube Football Factory, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and The Firm won't ya?
Sorted. :up:
We're both Southerners 'ere, no worries. I just come from the posher part of London which is called Kent. I can do a posh accent or I can do a cor blimey guv'nur, it all depends on what level I want to appeal to. Most people prefer a more relaxed accent to a posh one, it makes them more at ease with you I find. :hmmm:

Any chance that talent extends to Scottish dialects? My family hails from Scotland and I spent most of my last visit saying "what?". I could us a translator when I return, if you're available. :DL

I do computer screens for movies, the type where the actors will go to a screen and use my fake "database" for whatever reason.
Many's the film where there's surveillance footage, and in the graphics title bar
"Ariel Surveillance"

I will definitely keep an eye out for that...
And to be honest either firefox or a plugin has a spell checker.... otherwise most of my posts would look like 3 year old wrote them....
