Every "ie"/"ei" word. Like I can't even I like know how to spell them but I always don't trust myself to ? I also always spell definitely wrong. THE E JUST IS MY ENEMY OK?!? I also have just general dyslexia so I mean d's and b's and p's and q's are always really hard when I am writing physically. Typing it doesn't happen as much.

I really struggle with saying amethyst for some reason....think it's the th and y sound together.
Another word that is almost always pronounced wrong around here is specific, it's get said Pacific and it drives me mad.

I think it trips up everyone. I usually Google it to be sure I have it spelled right. LOL
I don't have trouble pronouncing any English words.

I usually can't spell city names. I can't spell the word superfluous. I always spell it as superflous.

I'm easy with this because a lot of German words have either in them. But yeah @Alex518 those kinda long words with double letters and stuff yea lol :/

Illinois I always pronounce with an s because I am dumb.
Also words like aesthetics I just can't spell naturally which is fun bc I use it 24*7 with film stuff lol :/ I can less pronounce it though, like any ae that pronounce like ee/i I can't just say because we don't really have that sound (also I always pronounce it like a swedish/danish way and then it's a completely different letter lol).
With spelling I usually devide the words in parts, that helps me personally. Ne-cess-ary, re-stau-rant or whatever popular misspelled words.
However, everytime in english class, I want to pronounce anxiety as angs(es)ty, like it's just a reflex at this point.

if it was you I'd never want to leave...
i just realized recently that ive been pronouncing avocado wrong. ive always pronounced it as avacado instead of avocado lol
I can't for the life of me pronounce variety. I always pronounce it vi-arity for some reason.. it always screws me over, ever since I was young.

I don't think I can pronounce solute right. I thought it was "so-loot" but google disagrees
I also have issues with words that have "ch" in them. I always pronounce "orchid" as "or-shid" and used to say "or-shes-tra"
Also, the spelling of "merengue" (a dance/music genre) and "meringue" (a type of desert) always trips me up. They're too close in spelling.
Update: apparently I've been saying meringue wrong too. Another one to the list
