This level of trolling is reasonable for Commander Obvious. What do you think of this, everyone?

The other one is recipe.

[up][up] I was thinking "I have some of these, but it's not any of what people have said yet".. Then I realized: Algorithm — I always want to spell it '..thym'

'Attach' is the only word I have trouble with. I keep adding a third 't'.

I tend to mix up E's, A's, and I's in words, but mostly in words that I don't use everyday.

As far as specific words go, I tend misspell emphasis as empethesis because the combination of Hooked on Phonics and Southern US dialect did wonders. I also pronounce a lot of stuff wrong for the same reason.

connoisseur - that's one that's been giving me fits for some time.

Usually, I'll just use the similar-in-meaning 'aficionado', which is easier.

Oh yeah, also privilege. I always put a "d" in there. Maybe I should come up with some weird way to remember that, like "It's a privilege not to get thrown over a ledge".

Opportunity. I always spell it "oppurtunity," but then it NEVER LOOKS RIGHT.

I always used to spell necessary as neccesary. I'm sure there are others, but they're not coming to mind at the moment.

reccommend, celing, advisor, neccessary, lisence...

I never knew there was more than one R in "prerogative" until it got flagged the first time I wrote it (the first one is pronounced by all of nobody)

Oh dear, 'necessary'. One of these days I'm going to go crazy and just spell it 'necccesssarry'.

I always find 'recommend' easier to remember if I think of it as 'commending' something.

Rootabegger. Rutabagar? Rutabega? Oh, it's rutabaga. It doesn't help that whenever I hear it said aloud the accent of the person saying it seems to get two or three degrees thicker.
