What word do you ALWAYS spell out [mentally] when writing

I guess I can say I have a modest vocabulary. I don't use it here though😛

Anyways, my word is : Business.

Since I was a kid, I've always spelled this puppy out. The habit grew on me, and to this day, I continue to spell it out.

My brother pronounced it the way it's spelled when I was about 5 years old and that has always stuck with me.
 
I can't think of any that I spell in my head while I'm typing... and I usually get most of them correct, but, iespell (or my word processor) takes care of the others.

I think the only ones that I might 'think' about are some of the i before e except after c words.

 
I never "spell out" words in my head. It's just not how my brain works. I have a fairly decent vocabulary (been reading "adult"-level books since I was 7 or 8) and my brain is pretty good with words and spelling. I just think of the word and I can just spell it. My friends love me; when they don't know how to spell something they just ask me and I can rattle it off without even thinking. When it comes to math, on the other hand... I suck 😛
