I never know when to use practice or practise, licence or license or discreet or discrete

Any words that confuse you?

I struggle with 'yes' and 'no' some days, let alone words spelled similarly

Slightly at a tangent. Someone I know uses words in completely the wrong context, she'll hear a word and start using it without knowing what it means. That confuses the hell out of me.

I know one is a noun and the other a verb but forget which way round.

Not for the same reason as you but I almost always read the word queue and think it very strange, just take a second and look at it on its own like when you're sat on the fucking motorway and it s up there burning a hole in your brain and you just want to get out your vehicle and smash the fuck out of the smarmy repetitive letters... fucking twat.

QUEUE.

So many words.

Currently the word which I find most confusing is 'civil'

Easy. There's civil servants and civil engineers.

Civil servants sit in offices doing paperwork to do with government, civil engineers build bridges and tunnels.

I struggle with remuneration. It’s about numbers, so in my head it should logically be renumeration. It also sounds clumsy when spoken.

I find most words that end in sense or ness very hard. To the point my phone doesn't recognise what I'm trying to spell. .

Had to do keywords with my child today, learning: bear, tear, wear.... Not a happy child, after learning ear then being told in these words it's air. Something I've never paid much attention to until now... Bloody English language.

Going slightly off the topic, but still about words. Next time your listening to someone giving an interview or taking on the telly, see how many times they use the word " Absolutely "
