Words you cannot spell properly

Not to toot my own horn, but I am very good at spelling.  However, I cannot spell parsley or anesthesia.  I am the typist for our church cookbook, so while anesthesia has not come up in the ingredients, parsley has.  I CAN spell Worcestershire without issue...odd.

I am also a pretty good speller. Unfortunately I am a horrible typist so sometimes you wouldn't know I could spell...lol

Wednesday! I always have a problem with that one. Also I get confused between Tuesday and Thursday I need to see a calendar to figure out which one is which.

Once I couldn't remember for the life of me how to spell the word 'of'. My brain simply would not work. I kept going uuuuuvvvv, uuuuvvvvv, uuuuuvvvvvv. Someone asked me what I was doing and there was no way in hell I was going to admit that my brain had stopped working.

'um, excuse please but how do you spell uv?'

Yeah no.

How do you spell

Obscure - ification Is that a word? I need to use it but I can't figure out how to spell it. Or can anyone give me an alternate word.

Noun
obscurification (plural obscurifications)
(colloquial, slang, used as a nonce only) The act of making something obscure. Usually used in computing to describe the act of hiding source code in plain sight. One might consider it a type of very ineffective encryption.

You made me curious so I went and looked. Now I know what to call those people who make simple things more difficult than they have to be : "obscurifiers"

I can't spell OR pronounce Worcestershire. (I C&P'd it from the OP for this comment.)

On my grocery lists it's written as W-sauce. And to actually, kind of, say it I remember the punchline of a joke my brother told me soooooo long ago that he doesn't remember it! Whatsthisheresauce! :D

I use Google to check on spelling sometimes. Just today used it for the word solemn. I was sooo not right in what I was guessing!

It's pronounced "Worster." I don't use it because it's not vegetarian. I use HP (House of Parliament) that is like A-1 Steak Sauce.

To confound things more, I made a joke - "I bought their computer because I like their sauce so much." Americans don't get it.

Editd to correct punctuation typo.

 "Obfuscation" could be the word you want

There are a lot of words that I use frequently in legal documents that I know how to spell (I'm one of those people Mark Twain identified who inherited the spelling gene) but usually type incorrectly.  E.g., I am always typing "Plaitniff" instead of "Plaintiff"
