I could never spell. I am not a good speller. I'm such a bad speller my parents bought me Hooked on Phonics and told this elaborate story that we were "holding" it for someone else and if I wanted to see what it was, I could for like two weeks or something. So, I went through all the tapes.
BEFORE that, my parents got me the earliest of the spellcheckers - wide calculator looking things you typed your letters into and it would search a dictionary to try to figure out what you wanted to spell.
I had a lot of words in my head, I just didn't have the ability to spell them. To this day, I am not sure how things go together. I know sometimes how they should look but I often cannot read words I haven't seen before (or names) and certain cannot spell. Thankfully, there is spell check.
In studying etymology in some attempt to learn what comes easier to others - I learned French is valuable and anything from French is jacked. Bardor? No bordeaux.
WTF IS THAT FRENCH?!
As I got older and with spellcheck, I learned errors fall into mental and physical categories. I either lack the mental ability to spell through mild dyslexia or just general incompetence or I just hit the wrong buttons on the keyboard in the wrong order.
These are words I have never spelled correctly and tend to have to use.
