Words I hate
Late, still working, and getting tired. But, irrespective of that, there are some words I just seem to have a block on. Parameters is one. Don't know why, but I always struggle, and always mistype it. Others include runat (I once asked Scott Guthrie if he's add ruant as a valid attribute for server controls) and words with double letters, such as tools, which often comes out as tolls. It's not Dyslexia, just the fact that sometimes my fingers seem to have no connection to my brain. OK, diversion over, back to work. Carry on everyone.

I'd have much more trouble with this sort of thing if it weren't for intelliense. In my mind, most .NET properties and methods and class names are just spelled with a Ctrl-[space] at the end.

Whenever I'm coding up client-side JavaScript stuff, where intellisense can't - or won't - help me, I have terrible trouble - especially in relation to case-sensitivity. Is it document.GetElementById or document.getElementByID? Do elements have an InnerHtml property or an innerHTML property? Not helped of course by the fact that JavaScript will happily run clear past the line with the typo in it and just give you an obscure 'x has no property called 'foo'' error somewhere completely unrelated. There should be a law against non-compiled languages.
