By the time you're done reading today's post on Offbeat Ways to Remember How to Spell Hard Words, you'll know how to spell Schwarzenegger without detouring to Google or your copy of Terminator for spellcheck.
Yes, we're covering how to spell Schwarzenegger; as in "Arnold Schwarzenegger," who is known as:
√ Professional bodybuilder and Mr. Universe (1967).
√ Star of world-changing action films like Predator, Running Man, and Kindergarten Cop.
√ Former, well-liked governor of California (2003-2011).
√ The man who pretty much owns the phrase, "I'll be back."
Why is learning how to spell Schwarzenegger is relevant?
It's not, really. However, from personal experience, I can tell you the thrill I get writing this entire blog without pausing to double-check the spelling of "Schwarzenegger" is parallel to the thrill I got as a kid when school was cancelled due to snow. #smittininthemittin
If you're still here, let me share how to spell Schwarzenegger sans fail every time:
"Choppa" It Up
First Word: Sch
The first three letters of Schwarzenegger's name don't actually make a real word. However, you already know several words in the English language where "sch" is the starting lineup. Count "Schwarzenegger" one of them and remembering how to spell Schwarzenegger is all downhill from here.
Second Word: War
Considering the majority of his movies cast Schwarzenegger as some sort of soldier who goes to war with an unreasonable predator (like in the movie, Predator), this association is easy to remember.
Third Word: Zen
Merriam Webster Dictionary defines Zen as "a state of calm attentiveness..." I think "zen" following "war" in "Schwarzenegger" is a beautiful contrast.
Fourth Word: Egger
This may seem like a stretch, but what else would you call someone who throws eggs at things? I'm sure we'd all have some colorful words for those dweebs, but, in the literal sense, we'd call him or her an "egger."
In Conclusion:
Bandage those four parts together, and you now know how to spell Schwarzenegger—seamlessly and nearly effortlessly.
