Common spelling mistakes

There's a few classics here. Occasion is one I always have to REALLY think about. 

There's a whole website dedicated to the 'alot' error. I'll have to dig it out, it's brilliant.

Necessary is annoying, but you have to remember one Collar and two Sleeves. 

I'll always remember my friend's mum telling me how to spell rhythm. Rhythm Has Your Two Hips Moving.

I do love a mnemonic! There's a great one for diarrhoea I heard recently....Does It Always Run Really Horribly Over Each Ankle. Not sure how often you really need to write that word though! 

Definitely I always remember has the word finite in the middle. 


I think probably the biggest mistake we all make with spelling is with punctuation either over or under doing it.... and with the I before E except after C ruling..... But according to Stephen Fry on QI this has now been flipped on it's head and they no longer teach this in schools
