I have problems with a few too Juneau ... especially these :_


manoeuvre

Aladdin (can never remember if its 2 L's and one D instead)

psychiatry - like yourself, is one of mine

Fortunately we have the net - so typing a word I'm not sure of the spelling into google, it will soon put me right if its incorrect. What did we do before the net? Plough thro our dictionaries of course! grin

this looks like an easy, short word, but I always have to spell it out about 4 times, before I realise I've got it right!

rhythm

i use it on my video list quite a bit, because quite a few of the songs are "rhythm & blues"!

Apparently the most common alleged *correct* spelling is naive pronounced *ni eev* and yet I have seen it meny times spelt more logically as naieve and pronounced phonetically as nay-eve.

Which is right ? - nobody knows
