For some reason, so many people tend to spell it as Vaccuum. They always want to put that extra C in there. Remember, it’s VACUUM! *wink*

9. Conscientious

Okay, I admit that it is almost impossible to remember how to spell this one right! It’s one of those spelling bee stumpers.

8. Definitely

I actually had problems spelling this word, until I actually stopped to think and look at it and stop depending on my spell check, now I definitely do not have any problems with it. I have always tried to spell it without the e – so it would look like definately.

7. Phlegm

Yeah, I know, what a word, eh? Many spell it like this “flem.” Hey, isn’t that how you sound it out?

4. Separate

Personally, I never had a problem with spelling this one. However, I have noticed that many individuals do. They spell it like this – seperate. I know, it’s easy to do, isn’t it?

3. Acceptable

Often times, people spell it like this “Acceptible.” Yes, instead of the “a,” they put an “I,” which is understandable, but it’s still the wrong way to spell it.

2. Believe

So, tell me, how do you spell it? Remember – “I before E, except after C.” As you see, this rule is not always true! Except at V? No….well then, why isn’t it spelled “Beleive?

1. Embarrass

When you spell this wrong on a term paper, you will surely be embarassed! Or is it Embarrased? No, silly, it’s embarrassed!

Do you know something funny? As I was writing this article in Microsoft Office and trying to misspell the words on purpose, it kept correcting them, so I had to manually incorrect them. LOL. Now, that’s funny. Well, which words do you have problems with?
