: I can't ever do it. Mainly I go based upon whether it looks right or not...but let me tell you, run a spell check on a document of mine and that is the mistake that pops up the most.
: Plus, I have a real problem spelling "definitely" so often I just (if I'm e-mailing or posting and too lazy to spell check) abbreviate it to "def."
I base it on whether it looks right also; I almost always spell anything with ie in it wrong the first time around. Also, I transpose D's and G's for no discernible reason. And there are a couple of words (none of which I can remember at the moment, for some reason) that I ALWAYS fuck up, to the point where I just won't use them anymore in text.
