A word I always misspell
Answering the question ‘Is writing your novels pleasure or drudgery?’
Pleasure and agony while composing the book in my mind; harrowing irritation when struggling with my tools and viscera – the pencil that needs resharpening, the card that has to be rewritten, the bladder that has to be drained, the word that I always misspell and always have to look up … questionnaires – a word whose spelling I have to look up every time.
(From Vladimir Nabokov, Strong Opinions, 1973, pp. 145, 178)
