My example: rinsing spicy sauces and peppers off in my sink so the spiciness aerosolizes and I realize when it makes me cough. Every. Damn. Time.

      Never had an issue with that word, but God damnit if “occasion” doesn’t get me just about every time. “Is it 1 C and 2 S’s, or 2 C’s and 2 S’s…?” I remember after writing it down wrong, of course. Stupid English.

        Not occasion, but for “necessary” I like “Never Eat Cake, Eat Sweet Salad And Remain Young”

          For necessary I always think 1 collar, 2 sleeves. This has rattled through my head every time I’ve spelled it the last 20 or so years at this point.

          Now if only I could remember it’s different not differant 😣

            I always just mentally pronounced it neck-essary to remind myself to only use a single C. It never occurred (thanks, spell check) to me to relate it to a physical object.

            Mine, of course, is “ocurr” and its iterations.
