1. I just remembered the name "Shakespeare" the same way - in which there are "shake" and "are".

I used to send "a massage" instead of "a message" to friends

2. I used to mix up "bald", smb w/o hair, and "bold", smb courageous. But then quite by accident remembered the name of one of the character's in Pushkin's tale "The Tale of the Priest and of His Workman Balda", which means "a stupid person in Russian". This was what made the trick for me.

3. I used to write the word " achieve " incorrectly "acheive " then I connected it with the word "eve" at the end so I haven't done this mistake again. I'm trying to find a solution to the word " neighbor" now, I usually write it incorrectly.

4. I wrote liar "lair"; I didn't know distinguish practise and practice which one is the verb and which one is the noun.

5. I often make a mistake about past perfect tense;

   I used to write surprise "suprise";

   I wrote textbook "testbook";

   I wrote sentence "sentense"

   .........

Now I try my best to write the right words.
