Spelling Bee Drop-out

Ok, so Spelling Bee's didn't officially exist where i grew up, but if they did i never would have made it past the first round. I am the worst speller ever! But don't worry i have plenty of excuses for this. The first one is that i grew up in England during those formative spelling years. You might say to yourself, "so what, you can't spell the word color properly, get over yourself". But this is where my second excuse comes into play: i was also being taught French in school at the same time. That means that i tend to accidentally add "aux" or "ough" not to mention lots of extra e's and u's. It's sad really, but what can you do. Not to mention the fact that i have Spell Check and my husband finds my mispelling to be an edearing quality. And this is all being said in an effort to excuse my future and inevitable misspellings. I used to put (sp?) by words i was unsure of but i will spare you.
