Hmm. When I can't spell a word, I always try to come up with a similar word I can spell and work from there. Like convenience: That's kind of similar to convene, which is to get together for a gathering of some sort. So I would think, a convenience store is a gathering of crap I probably shouldn't buy. Hopefully you could also remember to remove the e and put on the ience. I noticed from your spelling attempts that the ience didn't seem to be a problem.
I used to always misspell sacrilegious and I got around the problem using something similar. For some reason I always thought the root word was religious when in reality is is sacrilege. Trying to spell it thinking of religious always resulted in an extra i.
Anyway, sorry to barge into your journal but spelling is one of the few things I am actually good at so I thought I would share.
