There are quite a few words I can never spell correctly
I blame my schooling and the first attempts at the phonics bollocks that they are now bringing in. For example they taught us to spell necessary 'ness-ca-seree'

I learnt how to spell by reading books.
Other methods are full of fail.

hey when I was a nipper in the early 70's they came out with some bollocks called ita
which was basically just spelling words exactly as they sounded ( similar to phonetics ) I could already read and write before I went to primary school and I had to learn that shite all over. Then they dropped it again without a word. Bollocks. I still find myself writing 'ov' for 'of' at times.
