No matter how comfortable you are with words, no matter how expansive your vocabulary is, no matter how brilliant you are, there are always particular words that trip us up every time we use them. I can never ever remember how to spell occasion, for instance: I always want to put two s’s in there, and it never looks right with either one or two. So even when I do get it right, it looks wrong, and I have to look it up.

What words do you always misspell? What words constantly send you to the dictionary?
