Spellchecker ruins LIVES!

I used to be a really good speller, but I keep finding that when I have to right a word away from the cosy confines of MS Word, I've semi-forgotten how to spell the fuckers! What words do you have trouble with, especially if you never used to...?

I have gotten shittier at spelling with age. Well, I'm only 21, but I swear I could spell better when I was 12. I can never remember how to spell that word that sounds like "im-bare-ass"

Hull hath no fury like a dyslexic scone.

Like James, less problems with spelling than w/ typos (not helped by a sticky keyboard and nails a bit long (the/teh is so frequent that they've almost achieved equivalence)). I used to be a medical secretary, and cd probably still spell the commoner parts of that vocabulary (two years of audio-typing pre-PC/spellcheck will do that). Spell-wise, I have problems remembering that there's usually only one 's' in 'focusing'. Mainly, though, I like to concentrate on mis-pronouncing words I've only read, not said (I never look up pronunciations in teh dictionary).
