Haha Jordan, maybe one way to remember how to spell "separate" is that the two As, umm, separate the two Es??

I remember 'separate' by making sure I just remember to not spell it how I want to spell it

^^ I always try that with things -- like "the front door key is the opposite of the one you always grab first" -- but then I immediately get confused and start having the right impulse in the first place, which I'm now correcting to the wrong one

you know when the more you look at a word, the less certain you are about how to spell it? i get that once every couple of months with my own first name (michael).

I get zen-koan-confusion when I see the title of this thread: if you don't know how to spell a word, how can you type it out?

i have to consciously remind myself that it's "publicly" and not "publically"

exaggerate
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)

Ha! Yeah, I can never remember if my sister's last name ends with 'h' or not, which is truly embarrassing.

Until just now, I hadn't thought of the word "pecker" in at least a decade.

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.

"thoroughly".
got it now, as it ended up on mk2's spelling test list a few weeks ago, and there was no way i could let the little bugger hit me up on such a simple word.
