Calendar is one I always trigger spell correction on, I know the rule of e in the middle but when typing I always fuck it up.

Written as well as verbally as a native English speaker, regularly as well gets me, our citys English accent/dialogue is kind of elevated - spoken fast and lazily. It often comes out as "reglee". As a linguistics/philology nerd it makes me feel like a nigger.
 
Recieve.

Every single fucking time I spell it just like that and every single fucking time autocorrect has to go "uhm excuse me" and save my retarded ass. God help me if I'm writing and not typing, because there's only a 50% chance I'll catch myself.

I know the rule: I before E except after C and all those other times too. But it's this one word. This one fucking word. My monkey brain instinct refuses to right itself.
