That one word you always spell wrong.

I rather try to keep my spelling errors to a minimum, with one exception. There are words that, when spelt according to how they were invented, look wrong. They look like the person who made them up couldn't spell. I can't really help that. Some of you have already said some of them already. To that, I say that it is a matter of personal taste. (If other people can go "Colour" as a mode of expression, then I can have a bit of freedom myself.)
"Miniature" gets me every time. It's the one word that always manages to escape my meticulous net of constant self-correction.

manoeuvre -- I ALWAYS have to look-up how to spell it. And it's annoying mainly because I like to use it. Why couldn't it be something simple like "manouver" or "manouvre"? No, they gotta throw a random "e" between the "o" and the "u".
(Hey, maybe that's how I'll remember to spell it!)

embarrassed
If im typing fast I usually spell it embrassed. I also miss the n't off words occasionally which makes for some interesting conversations....

As a chemist, embarassing, but 'chemistry' which (when typed quickly) always comes out as 'chemsitry'...
Occasionally often comes out occaisionally.Aylaine said:Hmm. Probably occasionally. Sometimes I get it but most times? Botch.
Occur is occurr namely because I keep thinking of present tense of occurred which has two r's.
Excersize, er, excorsize, exorsize.. exersize? shit. Exorcise ... no that's the wrong one. Exercise. There we go. The fact that these two words both exist has caused me to misspell them on so many occasions... ugh. Occaisionally it occurrs to me that I need to excersize more.
Oh, I also often mess up Its.
This is because I feel it is ACTUALLY wrong and illogical that the possessive form of 'It' is not it's.
My Friend's Laptop
My dad's phone
Its hat.
Where the heck did the apostrophe go with that last case? What the heck!
My Friend's going to school.
My Dad's working late tonight.
It's going to be difficult.
I hate you English. I hate you so much.
