Have forgotten the title of the article and also when and where i read it cos i do random reading if not, would have posted the link. Google spelling rules it's there. |

freecocoa: Those words that have the same alphabets twice in them, eg committee, community and pneumonia gave me small problem before I got used to their spellings.Have you gotten used to “Possession“, “Accommodation“? |

Mine wasn't spelling per sé, as a child, I always used to believe that Blue should have been Green and vice versa... My reasons then were genuine... I dunno I refused calling Blue Green, I felt “English People“ made a mistake!! |

[quote author=Ramcie] Was good with the above spellings cos my mum always made me say these famous lines " I comes before E except after C"[/quote I am not trying to... I am just passionate about English... What about “Seize?“ I sincerely would love to be learn a little more. |
Re: Words You Found Difficult To Spell In Your Early School Days? by Ramcie(f): 7:16pm On Nov 17, 2012 |
[quote author=emusmith][/quote] "i" comes before "e" when it is pronounced "ee", except when it follows "c" – or when sounding like "a" as in "neighbour, or weigh". e.g. brief, field, priest. receive, deceive, ceiling. Exceptions: neither, foreign, sovereign, seized, counterfeit, forfeited, leisure. Got that online,so I pasted it here for you. You can google spelling rules for more information. |

Una be fool: Even an English language first-class holder graduate could still periodically come across words that he probably has no single idea of what the first & last alphabets are until he uses a dictionary, an encyclopedia or the internet lol. It is inevitable no matter how intelligent you think you may be. Queue
