| | Baffling wordsSeptember 9, 2008 - Ilima LoomisI've been a professional writer for more than seven years, and there are still some words I spell wrong every time. Actual Word Wants to Be triple tripple judgment judgement transparent transparant putting (as in "to put") puting (although that doesn't look right either) apologize appologize lieutenant leutenant? lieutennant?? lieutenent?!? ARRR! Article Comments(5)newsygirlSep-10-08 4:06 AM "Bureaucracy" would be on my list too, except that a certain History teacher who terrified me in 11th grade made*****sure I got it right. Thank you, Mr. Armstrong. But really. "Bureaucracy"? Sheesh. newsygirlSep-10-08 3:59 AM Ha! Good call on "occasional," "maintenance" and "separate." Who can we blame for these? omaopioSep-09-08 7:08 PM All of your words look like they could be going into a current political party. Hmm...who should apologize for bad judgment, triple overspending, and lack of transparency? What does the lieutenant gov. have to say about it? omaopioSep-09-08 7:04 PM So funny! My words are: ocassional, restauranteur, and alot. Thank god my 10th grade English teacher told me that separate contains a rat, otherwise it would be seperate to me. Post a Comment | |
