It is one word! The Guinness Book of Records lists it a such, I just posted it hyphenated to see if it was easier to read aloud...and it also ties in with the Native Americans speech rhythm, plenty of artistic licence then.

The summit where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, the slider, climber of mountains, the land-swallower who travelled about, played his koauau to his loved one.

Taumata­whakatangihanga­koauau­o­tamatea­turi­pukaka­piki­maunga­horo­nuku­pokai­whenua­ki­tana­tahu.

This is a hill near Porangahau, south of Waipukurau in southern Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. The height of the hill is 305 metres (1,001 ft). The hill is notable primarily for having unusually long name, which is of Maori origin.

Just like the Welsh Village, it's an official name, that's an in depth description of the place's identity.

... and the other way round. I keep seeing 'none binary' being used in the forum.

I suspect that the reason lies in the way parts of the country pronounce 'none' as 'non' instead of 'nun'.

Whenever I'm writing a shopping list I have to think twice before writing passata and broccoli. Even writing it now I relied on my phone to put in the correct amount of cees and ells in broccoli.

"I find Diarrhoea is a well shit word to spell correctly

"

I got quite good at spelling that as I wrote it many times for my children's school absence letters.

My spelling is OK it's my typing that's rubbish and my phone autocorrects to filth so most things I write include the words dick, anal and/or busty - whether I mean to or not

If I'm typing or writing I'm pretty damn good at spelling. It just sort of flows out as I'm doing it.

When it comes to actually being asked "how do you spell this word?" my mind goes blank of some easy words at times.

"Necessary. I try to remember one collar, two sleeves but I often get it wrong. Also niece."

Oh i like that way to remember never heard it before

For niece i would always stick with “I before E except after C” … must have been 6 when i was given that rhyme and never forgotten it

Words that are hard for me to spell would be everything looking at my screen. I have to go back and correct every other word most of the time. but i will say its much more of a typing problem than a spelling one

"There, their and they're apparently

That’s a Fab thing

No, it is just a sad reflection on our education system and I am sometimes embarrassed by admitting to having been part of it over a span of 33 years."

I actually think its the result of moving into a much more verbal world. We call rather than write letters and have meetings rather than write memos

Verbally they all sound the same. I know the difference between all 3 and when to use each and even which one i meant when typing… but still i put down the wrong version occasionally because most of the time when talking it doesn’t matter which i wanted to use

The following ALWAYS stop me in my tracks:

palate - taste/roof of the mouth thing

pallet - a wood thing

palette - a colour thing

For the rest of my days I just can't see remembering which one is which.

- isn't it intriguing how when some words (such as penis) have their letters rearranged become different but the same?! Eg - penis/spine. A penis can become a spine(y) instrument
