SSC: Spelling

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.)

Funny, I mentally pronounce that "n", too.

Shoot, I pronounce it out loud.
