Stay out ma bidness.

it's mine all mine

 

[Salmonax]

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

I thought it was "perrogative"

Yeah, Bobby Brown screwed a lot of us in that regard.

 

[Dishwalla]

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

Yep, this and "necessary" get me every time.

 

[Volcane]

 

[kaister]

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.

That's how you remember it?

I always remember it as "busy ness" except use an "i" instead of "y".

 

[Hilbert]

I would also misspell it just like you, finally I decided to think of it like "Busy-ness", and replay the y with an i. business. Seems to work for me since then.

edit: Goddamn it Kaister!

 

[googleplex]

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

Oh god this!

 

[Wag]

Bid-nezz.

[sixteen-bit]

this one took me a while to perfect in elementary school

 

[Koppai]

You say it "Aluminum" but it's spelled "Aluminium"

That always bothered me.

 

[friskykillface]

I had trouble spelling that too for a while and I'm in a business major

Also language

 

[Gentleman Jack]

fuck separate

My 7th grade teacher: There's a rat in separate.

Thanks, Mrs. McKinley.

edit: Goddamn it Kaister!

Yea, I always thought that's how everyone sees it. I don't remember if it was explicitly taught to me that way.

It really makes sense.

business = the state of being busy

 

[MC Safety]

Rhythm.

Ain't even got no vowel up in it!

And sometimes Y.

Oops. Rhythm has no vowel.

 

[Smellycat]

Bullshit OP:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=114428695&postcount=1

Here's the deal;

I'm planning on starting a small business in a year, and need a portable device to type up all my documentation. Going to be using it for word processing, creating powerpoint slides for presentations and all of that stuff. I will probably also use it for Spotify and streaming some videos.

Can a Chromebook do all of that? I was thinking about getting a Macbook Air, but the Chromebook's are so damn cheap. About 50% cheaper. I already have an incredibly powerful computer at home, so don't need anything powerful. Something light that does all I described.

Just want to make sure I am not losing any function for what I intend to use it for.

 

[Volcane]

You say it "Aluminum" but it's spelled "Aluminium"

That always bothered me.

We say it, as it is spelt in the UK

 

[Nebula]

4chan

Try a little closer to home.

 

[commedieu]

i still can't do restaurant without spell check.

 

[kaister]

fuck separate

Man, I'm constantly spelling this wrong no matter how many times I see the correct spelling.

Every time I typed it out it ended up being "seperate" instead of "separate" =/

[A Sentient Keyboard]

'necessary' always fucks me up, I have to google it everytime.

Pretty sure I made that thread on my phone, must have been autoxorrect don't remember typing it like that.

I mean, why would I lie about this. I'm gonna go through my notes that I have been taking lately and see those. Pretty sure I spelled it wrong in those.

 

[OgaKratos]

Don't be hard on yourself. We learn everyday. I recommend SwiftKey for typing. It corrects mistakes, teaching you the right spelling at the same time.

 

[Celegus]

I was pretty freaked out when I learned you don't spell "drawer" with a G. I was also 8 years old though.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

It's spelled "bidness".

 

[mr.beers]

I have issues spelling definitely.

 

[Htown]

Pretty sure I made that thread on my phone, must have been autoxorrect don't remember typing it like that.

uh huh

 

[Neuromancer]

I can not spell guarantee.

Edit: fuck me I spelled it right that time

 

[joeyjoejoeshabadoo]

Busy Ness

This is how I learned to spell business back in grade school. I still use it every time I write or type, business.

 

[Mistel]

Bad spellers, bad spellers everywhere.

To be fair some people do struggle with spelling. I do because I'm dyslexic.

 

[Ulthwe]

What about desing? I see it quite often.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Man, I'm constantly spelling this wrong no matter how many times I see the correct spelling.

Every time I typed it out it ended up being "seperate" instead of "separate" =/

I didn't know this was the right way to spell it until a few years ago

 

[emb]

It took me about 15 years to notice it was Lakitu instead of Latiku. These things happen op. We'll all get through this.

 

[Master Thespian]

[Commander Jameson]

Spelling.

Serious buisness.

 

[Lord Azrael]

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

The 'I' is silent anyway. It really wouldn't make a difference.

 

[Hilbert]

I can not spell guarantee.

Edit: fuck me I spelled it right that time

That's another one I can never spell. Along with Forgien. Fourien. Foriegn. Foreign. There it is!

 

[zeopower6]

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.

Are you okay, Kraftwerk?

Anyway it looks like you've been posting it as business more often than buisness on NeoGAF... maybe that's why no one ever really mentioned it to you?

 

[Shaffield]

I have no idea how to spell apparantly

 

[mc emcee]

I was 16 when i fount out I that suprise was not surprise.

 

[Five]

I only realized a few weeks ago that it's bob -omb, not bomb -omb.

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

And for good reason. The way most people pronounce restaurant involves a schwa vowel in the second syllable, which 'a' often serves as and 'au' rarely does. Further, the ä sound in the third syllable is usually spelled 'au' as with 'haunt', 'daunt' and 'cause'.

 

[phillipgessert]

I only realized a few weeks ago that it's bob -omb, not bomb -omb.

I had a friend whose favorite character in Final Fantasy VII was Sepinroth.

 

[marimorimo]

. In fact English is quite simple in some ways. Easy as hell verb conjugations and straightforward article use.

Huh? I'm forever thankful I learned English at a young age, because I feel English has one of the most twisted verb conjugations. Too many irregular verbs:

Buy - bought - bought
See - saw - seen
Swim - swam - swum

Japanese in comparison has a much more straightforward conjugation system with only 2-3 irregular verbs!

Another benefit of learning English as a second language is that I was exposed to good grammar and spelling BEFORE the messed up usage of Native speakers had a chance to influence me. 80% of the internet spell "alot" and "payed". Drives me up the wall.

 

[RoboPlato]

I spell it wrong every time. I know it's wrong too, I just can never get it right on the first try.

 

[burnjanso]

I used to spell Christmas as Chrismas.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Where does legit shook come from.

WrassleGAF, we also run http://legitshook.com (seriously)

 

[Cels]

on a semi-related note, i knew how to spell these words but i was completely wrong as to their pronunciation for many years:

viscount - pronounced - vye-count, silent s
respite - doesn't rhyme with "despite", instead - res-bit
