I was great at spelling at school too, had a reading/spelling/writing age of about 5 years more than I should.
I think I have just got lazy now though and some things I constantly spell wrong - Definately Correspondance And the great one considering I'm an accountant is that i can't type invoice fast - although just tried three times and managed it :/ Whenever I type an e mail, the spell checker always picks it up and I can never see where I have gone wrong :/

I was a good speller at school too. In third year the whole year sat the same spelling test and I got the highest in the whole year with 103/105 - the two I got wrong were beautiful (wrote it out wrong -I knew how to spell it) and facetious (I'd never heard the word before and had no idea how to spell it then. I tend to be very careful about spelling and usually check all my posts before clicking submit because I hate to see poor spelling. If I'm not sure about a word, I'll check it before I use it. If I make a mistake it's more likely to be a typo than a spelling error. Edit: I don't have any particular pet hates as far as spelling goes - anything badly spelled gets my goat. Like Feek, pronunciation pi**es me off frequently. One that really gets me is the habit some of you English types have of inserting an R in between two words when the first word ends in a vowel and the second begins with a vowel. I used to scream angrily at the telly when I would hear Brendan Foster say "Soniar o'Sullivan - THERE'S NO F***ING R IN THERE YOU PLANK

Something I've spotted recently is that I can't type Microsoft. It always comes out as 'Microsfot', which sounds like a small pouffé from Ikea.

The one I generally have to double check on is anything. I get the T and H backwards all the time, so it comes out anyhting. But it's not intentional, just dyslexic fingers.
But when you get someone typing the original word "whingeing" is what gets on my man tits.

Except that there is nothing wrong with the spelling of whingeing - see above - not a word you'd normally hear in the US though.

Besides you're not allowed to whinge at us until you've learnt to spell aluminium

I was about to get Nazi on you for using learnt but it seems it might be in the dictionary. When did that happen?
