I know for many it’s ensure and insure, but for me it’s wander and wonder.

"Fine"

"Sure"



They don't seem to mean that when a woman says them

That's not a frickup.

That's a portmanteau

Like Hangry. Or Fugly.

If someone asks how I’m doing, do I say, “I feel good” or “I feel well?”

I don’t, but this site cannot distinguish between dominant and dominate.

I don’t know about speaking but when it comes to sex I always get yes and no confused.

Another one common here is rein and reign. “He’d better reign that woman in before she wonders off.
