"ac" means "toward"
"commod" is from the latin word for "suitable" or "fitting"
"ate" means "to make," "to do"

I always forget if it's the g or the r that gets 2x.
with 'necessary' I remember reading a trick yearsss ago and it stuck in my head 'never eat carrots eat salad sandwiches'
with 'embarrassment' I remember it because there was this guy I knew 3l@n barr and he ended up being an ass. (really)

corelate, er, correlate. I always have to remind myself that there are two of one letter in it, even though it seems wrong, and it doesn't make sense for there to be two "l"s.

I'm otherwise a spelling pedant but that one always gets me. It came up in a pub quiz once and I did the thing I hate, insisting it was right even though I was obviously wrong. Shameful. Also I need to go to better pub quizzes.
