For me dear, it's the ones that are pronounced ebonically.





Such as: spehgehetti, lazonia, adress, puposefully, viceareal, guidence, cachchup, incessively, magnketize, and Massechusettes.








I do not need correction on these words, for I know how to spell them now after looking them up incisively.





Spaghetti, lazania, address, purposefully, visceral, guidance, catchup incisively, magnetize, and Massachusetts. See what I mean ?
It's sherbet.


There's no such word as sherbert; it's just a mispronunciation of sherbet.


And sorbet is an entirely different word.





I have trouble spelling giraffe and terrific. Always have to go back and change the number of f's and r's.

Hilight. Or highlight.


Shanklish. Or shankleesh. Or shunkleesh. And for those of you that have never heard of it, it's Syrian/Arabic moldy cheese.
