My Ever-Growing Spelling List

9/21/2015

 
I’m an unpracticed speller. Why? Because of spell check! I have spell check turned on by default. Writing my first book, I let spell check fix everything. This time, I’m making a list. I'm going to learn to spell these words!

Here are some recent additions to the list:

  • pageants (who knew it's “ea”?)
  • solidifying
  • cautiously (I get mixed up on some “tious” words...)
  • physically
  • riddance (as in “good riddance”)
  • descended (… and “sc” combos)
  • ominous
  • monstrous (I keep spelling it “monsterous”)
  • immediately
  • vain (stuck up) vs. vein (in your body)
  • stock (like soup) vs. stalk (like a plant)

If you want to see a great “spelling” movie, check out Akeelah and the Bee. Maybe I should get a jump rope!
