SSC: Spelling

[muckefuck]

Fourteen years ago, I misspelled the word "government" on a clerical exam.

Since then, I doubt I've misspelled it more than a handful of times, because whenever I write "government" or "governmental", I check the spelling at least a dozen times before I move on. (I've also gotten in the habit of pronouncing the first n, at least in my head when I'm writing.)

I am using castellano so much that I have to think hard about double consonants, since most of them disappear. And then there's combos like "mm" in English that turns into "nm" in castellano. Fortunately the Mac has a built-in spell checker that is multi-lingual and works as I type in nearly every application.
