    So verbalizing is my strength. Vocabulary, reading, etc. But I can't f---ing spell. I'm not saying that in a "omg I'm so bad lololol" white girl way, but bad as in being a far below average speller.

    My problem is I can't understand how to spell a word if the phonetics don't clearly spell it for me.

    So as dumb a question this might be, is there like a formula to spelling? How do you personally think you get the correct spellings of words?

    I'm a top notch speller but if I'm not sure of a word I will google "[word] definition" so I don't look like a fool :idk:

    Just look at a word, try to memorise it and say it out loud a few times. That usually helped me back in the day.

    And when you say it out loud put some emphasis on the syllable break up.

    EG:

    Mathematics --> Ma-the-ma-tics, say it aloud a few times.

    How can read and read be spelt the same

    How come read isn't the same as red

    How did we give colors names

    I'm also horrible at spelling. How am I supposed to know if it's supposed to be cc or ck or if a word should have 1 or 2 l's?
