something that is true about me is that i have never been able to spell the word exadurate (this is one of many words i have never been able to spell). so i was trying to figure it out by typing it into word and then using the spelling suggestions tool, ya know? but I was so far off that even word didn't know what i was trying to get at. so i resorted to google and the "did you mean ____" feature. i was disappointed when it accepted my "e x a d u r a t e" without providing an alternate. so i clicked on the first link which took me here - to the urban dictionary- which defined "exadurate" as the way that handicapped people spell the word "e x a g g e r a t e." perfect. all i needed to know. thanks urban dictionary... you are a gentleman and a scholar.
p.s. i'd just like to thank all of you who have accepted me as a semi intelligent person despite my fantasticly poor spelling skills (this excludes you, sterling). I'll have you know that I have been actively working on my spelling ability and hope to be considered a great little speller some day.
what are some words that you always misspell? Odds are that I missspell them too and I'd like to put them in my book of spelling words.

I always had trouble with adding ing to the verb "come"...like are you comming to the party or are you coming to the party...(the 2nd is correct)...
hahaha oh, urban dictionary. I have trouble with harrass. Even now I don't know if that is correct, it could be one 'r'. That word got me out of a spelling bee in the FIRST ROUND when I was a junior in college. english major. embarrasing.
the funny thing is i read your title and didn't even know it was misspelled until you explained that it was misspelled
You're right. I don't consider you semi-intelligent.
Umm, on Sunday I spelled "maternity" as "maturnity" on four different Relief Society flyers! Which is a great occasion to let you know that the stork is coming to our house in February! :)
definitely.
i spell it definately every time. EVERY BLASTED TIME. i even know that i do it...and still do it. which i feel is worse than spelling it wrong in the first place.
change is so HARD.
