A lady I was teaching today found the word 'deteriorate' extremely difficult to pronounce. Add 'ed' or 'ing' and it becomes even worse!

Ah deteriorated! Curses! I have a lot of trouble with that word. I seem to add a second "ed" everytime I try to say it, but my worst is asks. Ask is fine, but asks is awful. I usually try and use questions instead.

Also, as I guess Tdol knows, 'effect' can be a verb: "He effected a hasty retreat".

But for most teaching purposes, Tdol's rule of thumb works. (As a teacher I'm always making the mistake of trying to teach exceptional usages.)
