I found this list of misspelled words. The biggest problem I have is the i/e e/i not so set in stone rule. And with spell check these days sometimes you don't even notice when things are getting corrected.
But what's really funny is blogger spell check didn't pick up all the misspelled words. Most of the time I can tell if a word doesn't look right. But sometimes, freind friend, I can't.

Am I the only one who uses google as my spell checker when words don't look right?
I can not spell. Never have been able to spell a lick.
So most of the time the logic of "don't look right" doesn't mean a thing to me.
Doesn't matter if it's blogger, google or MS Word. Sometimes the spell check has no options for me because I couldn't be further from the actual word. Sorry Mike.
Some of us just are not omnipotent.
Or should I just say smart? much easier to spell.
:-)
D - I usually have an extra window open for google spelling checks.
M - I'm actually right there with you on bad spelling. About 50% of the time I've spelled a word correctly but I still think it looks wrong.
