3. Remuneration = Renumeration
I thought for sure it was a type -- the word "numer" just HAD to be in there somewhere ~~~

5. ..."idiot"
was spelled "ediet". I've always been a fairly phenomenal speller, so this was when I was very young, and I've never forgotten how wrong I was. In school during my entire career the only spelling word I got wrong was "sign." I can't remember how I spelled it but the shame of losing my perfect record is still painful. A little.
