Spageti?

I recently discovered that I didn't know how to spell "Spaghetti" properly.I consider myself above average at spelling,English having been one of my strong points at school.But there are are other words I have struggled with in the past,like "business" - I always got that one wrong and it took some concerted effort to master.

Any one else out there admit to having words they struggle with,or have struggled with?

 

For the longest time I couldn't spell "license."

 

That one could still get me into trouble if I had to think about it...

 

Unfortunately (fortunately?), most people don't need to know how to spell anymore because we have spell check.

I'll stick with unfortunately.

 

it's spelled "besketti."


it did take me unreasonably long to finally learn if the second vowel in "benefit" was an "e" or an "i." there's a few other such words, but that's the only one that comes immediately to mind.

 

ridiculous

i usually put rediculous

 

Definately. I never know if it is spelled defiantly or definatly.

 

I like "defiantly".A good illocution...

 

Oh yes we do because spell ceck tend to totally fuck up grammar an correct curse words

 

broccoli...or is it brocolli? Or broccolli, nope definitely not the latter.

 

No :mickey:

 

If I'm not on my phone there is no telling how "definitely" will come out.

 

I don't believe youz

 

i don't care about the words, or what shapes pasta is extruded into. and i'm no longer big on tomatoes since the stopped agreeing with me. but i love pasta in all its shapes and forms, orders of magnitude more then bread or spudatotes.

mostly for me its in soup, or as a base for other things. my favorite is the japanese udon. but again, any pasta will do. like the keep refrigerated kind of linguini with either clam or shroomie bullion from trader joe's.

penne pasta and meatballs with stroganoff sauce. clam and clamsauce on angel hair or conventional spaggets. is all good. and hachi are the best way to eat it.

 

Youz nutter...

 

I used to misspell mispell

 

Tossing in olive oil, garlic, and sprinkled with herb like parsley and grated hard cheese is a great and simple treatment for pasta and you can add blanched vegetables to that mix to the extent of your imagination. I was owner operator of a gourmet oriented italian restaurant. I agree clams steamed open in olive oil, garlic, scant water, black pepper and their own nectar are excellent. I throw in fresh parsley just before serving over pasta to absorb any lingering for whatever reason, seaside odors through it's non-water soluble chlorophyll. Cooking is manipulating chemical reactions.

 

But oh, I frequently blank on words that I have spelled correctly many times before. Maybe it is a sign of mental decline.

 

I was always caught up by the idea of "spells",i.e. magic,and the act of spelling correctly...

 

mmmmmm nom nom nom. that all sounds wonderful.

i've even been to a couple of those. and worked in a kind of basque one once upon a time.
