Most embarrassing and long-running spelling mistake?
I think that I've mispelled hoard/horde approximately one brazillion times in my life, and no one has ever called me on it.

I'm so ashamed.

Yours?

1. I worked for this Commander who, for reasons still unknown to me, insisted...
...on spelling "Tomorrow" as "Tomarrow".

2. I went to rehearsels for years
before I realized it was spelled r-e-h-e-a-r-s-a-l-s. And I always prided myself on spelling words properly. :blush:

By the way, are you aware that "misspell" is one of the most frequently misspelled words? :evilgrin:

5. You're right--even more common than "embarassing"
Which is, I'm ashamed to admit, how I almost misspelled it in my original subject line!

3. As a youngster
in grade school, I spelled my middle name wrong for months before my mom caught the error and taught me the proper spelling.

6. Disastrous and disasterous for me.
I actually thought I was a decent speller before I experienced using a spell checker.

If I don't remember to use the checker, I'm usually in trouble.

7. I have a "liscence" to mispell
I always mess that word up.
