Excuse the meme.
I just realised recently, while typing out an assignment or university, that I have been spelling significant as signifigant for the last 20 years of my life. Spell checker just alerted me, and now I feel like a real idiot. No one has corrected me before now, thank you trusty mechanical intelligence.
What have you been doing incorrectly, and only recently realised?

Looking at this, seems your not the only one to spell it that way. I get the feeling some countries actually spell it like that (ok so im probably wrong on that).
OT: I usually spell lots of things wrong.

I've always spelled "suprisingly" instead of "surprisingly".
This for one thing is a common mistake for me.

I always write definitively, even when I should be writing definitely.
I realize that it might be wrong, but I can't stop.
This is another thing...
The list is endless so i wont bother telling you them all. But i do remember in a spelling test in middle school, we had to spell colour. Well i went and forgot the U and put "color" as in the American way. I actually still got the mark because as far as the teacher was concerned, it might not have been the British spelling, but it was still the correct spelling in another country.
