Most words I'm really good with. Its just that one. I've looked it up so many times, but it doesn't stay in my brain.

haha fahren meaning to drive really has nothing to do with it at all. it's just a way for me to remember how to actually spell the word

Really? I think the spelling is easy ;D I thought it was a much used word in the US because of the temperature scale.

we never write the word though. it's just abbreviated F. isn't celsius just abbreviated C?

I understand. I also get mixed up in spelling because I did my highschool in french. in french sometimes the spellings are slightly off....so I misspell things .

Yup, we do but it´s really easier than Fahrenheit and shorter, too I still have to buy it or check it out of the library. I thought I had it but I can´t seem to find it, my book shelves are a mess.
