there are other word games.. one that help with spelling (as your words within words does, i guess)
i learned to spell conscious.. because someone pointed out that the word had some science to it.. and after that, i never forgot the c--conscious in the middle.

Welcome aBoard, NBC. Golly, from your screen name, I thought maybe you were in charge of staff fun at NBC!  But then I saw your bio--you and Rouspeteur share a career, as do WhitmanO'Neill and Flatlander (sort of), not to mention three-used-to-be-four attorneys, three docs, and a whole bunch of folk wot work with/on/in computers.

Actually, I think most people who misspell separate have a problem with the second syllable, and they write * seperate instead. Or at least I've seen it spelled like that numbers of times. And the rat is still there!
