It is my theory that everyone has a word or phrase that they consistently misspell and have to look up every time they want to use it in writing.
For me, it's "vice versa." I always want to spell it "vise versa," even that looks So Very Wrong. So I always end up looking it up.
So, do y'all have words you always have to look up?
