Think 'e-mail'.

Sacrilegious. "Religious" always creeps in.

Jewellery is a tricky one for me- I have to write it a few times- jewelry/ jewellry/jewellery-agghhh

Broccoli.

I don't have to look it up but I do have to think twice before writing or typing it.

And no, Red Devil, I am not a greengrocer ;-)

Ok numbers, I now know who not to go to when I need to get my hands on a couple of melons....oooerrrr!

Second rate Carry On double entendres aside, I get broccoli, it's a word we might right down often i.e. shopping lists, but I suspect some of the other words people are citing are never written down, they just look like hard words to spell.

Jah and Chrysanthemums made me chuckle, they just don't go...unless he's started smoking them ;-)

[numbers]

RD - aha I see what you mean, Jah is right chrsyanthe...is a bugger to spell. I'd hate to be asked how to spell that.

btw, don't you mean 'Melon's' if we are talking grocers ;-)

It was a long time before a realised there was a difference.

There used to be a trader called a "stationer" (as opposed to one with a moving stall). And he sold "stationery". This helps me to remember.

I really have to think hard over licence / license. C for noun in English. S for adjective. S for all uses in American.

But in practice (or is it practise) S is often used for software licences even by English companies.
