The word is....

Yes agreed, but it makes it very difficult to teach! No good me telling youngsters that even the natives are not sure, lol

I'd definitely say 'I was sick of doing it over and over again'.

And we have a reputation to maintain!

Of course they will. But this is Pedants' Corner!

I would probably say 'bored by' something, or possibly 'bored of' doing something, but each to his own. 'Fed up of' or 'fed up with' both sound right to me, in the context which juragran has outlined.
It's not worth losing sleep over, is it? I am sure everybody will know what we all mean, whichever version we choose.

I got resuscitate wrong too, gracesmum, but couldn't correct it. Nice to know that The Mysterious Beings make typos too

practice /advice/licence = nouns (c)
practise/advise/license = verbs(s)

Does this work for other noun/verbs?? but I say as long as you communicate I am never too bothered by an occasional spelling error..some people can some find it tricky!

I'd never say 'fed up of' or 'bored of'. It doesn't even sound right....

I'd say 'fed up with her complaining'

but 'I am fed up of having to repeat myself'.

Don't ask me though, I am a furiner.

I agree greatnn

feetlebaum - are you em? I have been looking for you. (If not, apologies)

Should be 'fed up with'. 'Fed up of' is awful!

Does anyone else find that as they get older their spelling, which they have always been proud of, starts going to pot!

I find I can spell ok when writing in the normal way, but typing - not so.

I think 'fed up of' something is normal usage.

@em

"Fed-up of seeing 'Off-License' above shops."

Fed-up of? I have fed my horse of hay?

Fed up, or bored, with - puh-lease!

Gracesmum -

At the moment, I am still spotting 'Going forward' and 'Hard working families'.

mamie. Yes, we used to play "bulls**t bingo" in staff meetings at school. Hard not to snigger though!

No matter how far you push the envelope it will still be stationery.
Speaking of those daft meeting phrases did anyone ever play "bullsh*t bingo" in meetings?
Not on the bingo card, but my favourite was when someone said "so long as we are all singing from the same menu".

If you know that "super" means "over /above"and"sedere" is Latin for "sit" a mental pic of somebody (probably fat) sitting on top of someone else helps!

Supersede appears to give problems - somehow 'supercede' looks better.
I used to teach my pupils that they could remember the difference in the spellings of 'separate' and 'desperate' because the former had 'part' in it.
Cars with an 'a' are stationary, and pens with an 'e' are stationery.
'Principal' is your first friend, and 'principle' is the other one!
'Definitely' is another word that is often spelt wrongly - I don't know why.
Do schools still teach these little nmemonics?

Tech dears- the word is "resuscitate" not resucitate (see intro headlines) - I suspect that even in extremis I would still care!

Fed-up of seeing 'Off-License' above shops. Should also follow the rule of c for nouns (so off-licence) and s for verbs (so licensed to sell alcohol).

The student worked at the doctor's practice so that he could practise medicine?

If someone has a flat affect, what would be the most effective treatment?

I'm still having problems with affect and effect . Is there a sentence as used above for practice/practise that anyone can suggest which will help, please?

gracesmum, .

Advice, vice, lice and ice are all nouns and all have a C.

Baggie if that's what it takes.........go with it, but I draw the line at cute kittens!
