Wow, just wow

Whenever I saw the word Business, I saw it as Buisness. I have written and typed it like that countless of times.

Why didn't anyone correct me? Teachers, professors..nobody. My whole life has been a lie. Reality is crashing around me

Fuck!

BUISNESS!

This is not a drunk thread, I am legit shook.

Happened to me when I was 18 OP. We can get through this together.

 

[shadyspace]

Do they not have spell check in your country?

Do you have some degree of dyslexia?

I ask because looking at Buisness my brain immediately tell me that spelling looks off.

 

[RedShift]

This is the very first thing our teacher taught us when I did my Business Studies GCSE. It's also like the only thing I can remember.

I'm pretty sure it came from Wrasslegaf

I have actually never checked if I have dyslexia. Maybe I should look into this.

 

[Pankratous]

I also spelled it buisness until I was like 17 and nobody corrected me either.

 

[Mistel]

To be I can't spell it without pronouncing it phonetically.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

I sometimes do this with people's names (flip a consonant and a vowel in the middle) until I hear them said out loud. I'm extremely bad at scanning names when reading, my eyes/brain just don't focus on them. My history grades were awful.

 

[Protein]

I had trouble with the word in elementary, but then my teacher always said "bus in on business" as in you take the bus to business.

 

[MidnightCowboy]

I still cant do "restaurant."

This. For some reason I always want to type restaraunt.

[freenudemacusers]

dude, I no joke, spent probably three solid days typing and writing restaurant until I could stop messing it up.

 

[Celestia]

I used to make my passwords based on words I had trouble spelling in order to learn them. Business was one of them.

 

[Meier]

How did you pronounce it while thinking the i came first?

 

[the cake is fake]

wow...OP has to be lying to get attention..has to.

[J10]

"License" fucks me up sometimes. Always some extra s or c in there somewhere.

 

[Oppo]

The one that got me a few years back was "prerogative"

I thought it was "perrogative"

 

[demon]

The only experience I ever had like this was with the word 'abysmal'. When I was 19 I realize it wasn't spelled 'absymal'. Sometimes when I read the word I catch myself accidentally pronouncing it in my head that way.

The Authority thinks this is bad for BUSINESS

This is not a drunk thread, I am legit shook.

So when you ran a spell check or autocorrect you didn't realize something was after it was constantly getting flagged?

 

[Borgnine]

Rhythm.

Ain't even got no vowel up in it!

 

[2San]

"Necessarily" is the bane of my existence. However I am now good enough so that spelling check can give the correct suggestion.

 

[TheOohChild]

when I would spell it growing up, I would always just say "bussy ness" in my head

 

[adj_noun]

Bus eye ness

 

[Prez]

Good, maybe in another 20 years you'll realize it's not written with a capital letter.

 

[DBT85]

I have to slow right down when typing or writing "exercise". Just weird.

 

[Professor Beef]

At last, someone gets it right.

wrasslin, when undertaker lost his 21 year streak

 

[MIMIC]

In the third grade, I read "business" as "BIZ-E-NISS", so I always remembered that the -i went after the -s.

It was a really weird way that helped me to spell it correctly (while mentally mispronouncing it, lol)

 

[Branduil]

Her name is Crabapple? I've been calling her Crandal!

 

[Anteater]

fuck separate

 

[Awful Falafel]

Rhythm.

Ain't even got no vowel up in it!

Y is a sometimes vowel because fuck consistency.

 

[Arksy]

My own oft-repeated mistake is that I keep writing relevation when I mean revelation.

Y is a sometimes vowel because fuck consistency.

As is W.

 

[sholvaco]

OP you're wrong. It's actually spelled bidness.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Everytime I'm in an exam

"Bus-sin-ness. Now take out the extra s and n." Know how to spell it correctly without saying that to myself, but it runs through my head every single time.

 

[J10]

Yeah, I don't speak any other languages but I feel confident assuming English is the dumbest one of all. There's like zero consistency in the way shit is spelled and the way shit sounds.

Book > Took > Tool > Fool > Good > Wood - It's like fuck you always.

I hear Arabic is pretty difficult to read and write though.

Blame it on the French.

French is more regular than English is when it comes to pronunciation but it has its fair share of ridiculous grammatical rules and absurd arbitrary constructions. English is fairly silly but we don't have a monopoly of linguistic silliness. In fact English is quite simple in some ways. Easy as hell verb conjugations and straightforward article use.

 

[NJDEN]

Happened to me when I was 18 OP. We can get through this together.

Hey, me to... 17 or 18 anyhow... You just go on attributing everything to spell check, then finally one day its like "OK, why am I spelling this simple word wrong" then you actually learn how to properly spell it.

I memorized it as bus - i - ness

 

[dr3upmushroom]

I learned to spell it by sounding out "Busy-Ness"

 

[gerg]

Blame it on the French.

And the Romans and the Germans.

 

[AkuMifune]

Stay out ma bidness.

 

[Squalor]

Bad spellers, bad spellers everywhere.
