Spelling block

Tonight, while typing up some notes, I had to rely on spellcheck to correct "Odyssey" (as in, Homer). Even though I've read the Odyssey in a Classics course and therefore also wrote about it (and had to spell it), I must still deliberately peck it out on the keyboard every time.

Spelling block also happens to me with "paraphernalia", which I could not spell during a game of Cranium a few years ago. (I mix up the "e" and the "r".) And, oddly, I balk at "niece" because I want to put the "e" before the "i".

Anyone care to share the words they just can't spell?

P.S. I spellchecked this entry before posting it and Blogger's Spell Checker flagged "spellcheck". I had also misspelled "neice".
