(b) Those -ie- and -ei- words like,
believe and
receive, because I can never seem to remember how they're spelled, and when you don't know how to spell a word correctly, you tend to choose another word, one that doesn't express exactly what you wanted to say.
c) Words that end in -able and -ible like,
terrible and
probable. Speakers pronounce the vowels 'a' and 'i' as schwa, a neutral vowel, which makes it difficult because the Roman alphabet doesn't have a letter for schwa, so I'm forever looking -able and -ible words up in my dictionary.
x-mas:
By the way, try, "What's the
