red devil Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 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 ;-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/54987-words-you-always-have-trouble-spelling-and-have-to-look-up/page/2/#findComment-828258 Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutOfFocus Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 > And, if you're a Brit writing US English (it happens), 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.
