It's because it's a French word and 99% of the Americans have no clue how to pronounce French words. You can't even pronounce some of the cities you live in
Well that's just the old eu or ue fuck up which a lot of people have problems with. Just like their they're etc. Stupid as well but that can happen. I make those mistakes as well sometimes but words like masterbate are you just fucking goddamn stupid.

I am actually a pretty decent speller but there are some words I always have a problem with. And they are not difficult words either. They just don't stick in my head right for some reason.
That is one of the words that I have to stop and look up each time that I want to spell it. I want to reverse the u and the r.
I also have problems with amateur, definitely, and separate.
yeah, separate is a bitch for me - thank god for auto-correct, cos I write that as seperate every damn time. What's worse is I know when I'm coming to type it.... "is it erate or arate" and every damn frikken time, when the auto-correct kicks in, I do a silent "doooh'.
There comes a point in ones life that no matter how many times you repeat something, it just never sticks.
I've reached that point, me and separate should just go our seperate ways

“If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.”
