The Words You Can't Spell

Anybody have the words they can't spell?
Maybe you know how it's spelled, you just can't type it out.
I'm finally getting around to writing up a retelling of "Prince Lindworm" I mentioned back in December, where I wondered how you get two sons from eating a red rose that'll give you a son and a white rose that'll give you a daughter. Sure, I can see getting a monster out of the mix, but this magical math is not adding up for me.
Turns out, I cannot for the life of me type "shepherdess." It's always sehpherdness.
This is a problem in a story where I decided nobody should have a name and the main character is "the shepherdess."
