Ok, kind of off topic, but kind of not...

Here's the deal, as far as I'm concerned...
If you are aware of your spelling problems, and you actually want to improve, then you will learn how to spell very well. This is something that I struggle with on a daily basis with my children. I don't mean spelling. I mean trying to get them to appreciate when something is important enough to learn. We are basically 'unschoolers', and I am not really in favor of any type of forced learning. Honestly, I don't believe that people can be forced to learn anything. It's all about motivation. Since you obviously have the motivation to improve your spelling skills, you will succeed.

In my opinion, you can spell pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelial cell, because you have some type of motivation to spell that correctly. There really is no other explanation for that, actually.
