    My spelling isn’t normally too bad but I have a real problem with words with silent letters, like phenomenon. For some reason I can never remember that these words have silent letters.

  2. Erica says:

    When trying to spell “Inconvenience” I often misspell it “Inconvience”. If you do a Microsoft Word spell check it replaces it with “Incontinence”…pretty inconvenient I would say!
