– acceptable - The suffix pronounced /êbl/ can be spelled as -ible or -able. For this word, think about an acceptance speech for an award, as this can help you remember to add a second "a."
accidentally - If an -ly adverb comes from an -al adjective ( " accidental " in this case), then the -al has to be in the spelling. That rule, along with doubling the "c" will put you on the right track.
– accommodate - Remember that this word is large enough to accommodate two sets of double consonants. Double both the "c" and the "m" in this term.
– acquire - The "c" in "acquire" is silent, so it is often omitted in spelling. To help get it right, remember that you should "see" (sounds like "c") something before you acquire it.
– acquit - The challenge with spelling acquit is the same as with acquire. Remind yourself that acquit is related to accusations of criminal activities to help remember to include a "c."
a lot - A lot is actually two words, but it's often misspelled as a single word (alot). In actuality, alot is not a word. Hopefully, you won't have to allot a lot of time remembering not to write alot.
– amateur - This word ends with the French suffix -eur (the equivalent of English -er), though it is pronounced like words that end in "ure." Remind yourself that amateurs need not be mature.
