How Well Can You Spell? #1
All those words you normally have to make autocorrect fix for you.
I once made a poem with all of the words that I always had to let autocorrect spell for me. I can’t share it here because I used a third of them in this quiz.
Spelling tests were always very important in my house growing up. My dad once made a deal with me where he’d buy me a camera if I could get 100% on my tests for 10 weeks in a row. Procrastination runs in my family, so it was closer to 19 weeks (with like 8 weeks of pestering from me) before I got my sweet, sweet little camera that used 110 film. I took that thing everywhere, and then when I’d finish my roll of film we’d take it to Kmart to get it developed. It would take a week or two to get the pictures back, and the guy behind the counter would always seem so sad about how most of my pictures had wonky focus or a finger in the frame. But that was all part of my artistic vision!
By week 19, getting 100% on my spelling test was second nature. I’d developed a routine and a sense of pride. Years and years later when computers and smartphones and autocorrect came around all of that nonsense went out the window.
Are there any words that you just can’t seem to spell right without autocorrect helping out? What about words you jack up so horribly that autocorrect has no clue about what you are trying to say? Leave a comment below!
