Spelling can be easy based on the word, but other times the word can be so long that you can't spell it, or you might not even know the word at all!

Someone has to spell a word out loud, for the sake of clarity, [[SpellingForEmphasis for emphasis]], for CensorshipBySpelling, or because they're in a SpellingBee, and they make an elementary spelling mistake or even spell a different word entirely. The reason can range from being [[NeverLearnedToRead illiterate]] to dyslexic, all the way to being able to read just fine but having never seen the word in written form. If it's the latter, this usually reflects negatively on the character's [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny attentiveness]], and if it's either of the former it [[TheDitz reflects negatively on the character's intelligence]]. In the case of spelling bees, though, sometimes the child actually knows the correct spelling and would not normally spell such a word incorrectly but is [[ThrowingTheFight intentionally losing the bee]] because they're sick of their parents putting such immense undue pressure on them at their age.

* ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'': In one game of "Song Styles" on the American version, Creator/WayneBrady sang to an audience member named Howard in the style of the Music/VillagePeople song "YMCA"). However, he ended up misspelling Howard's name as "H-O-R-W-A-R-D". [[{{Corpsing}} That threw everyone off enough that]] [[OffTheRails keyboardist Laura Hall accidentally increased the song's tempo, causing an increasingly frantic Wayne to desperately try to bring the song back on the rails]]. Afterwards, Wayne said "It's hard to spell at 210 beats per minute!".
