I seriously have a problem with the word "lavender." I can never remember how to spell it, which is very unusual because I usually know how to spell most English words I run across.

I can't think of any mnenomic device to help me remember the correct spelling either.

Hmmm, well, it is kind of like "lave" + "ender," both of which I do know how to spell. Maybe I can remember it that way.

[To "lave" is a wonderful word meaning "to wash" or, metaphorically, "to soothe." It rhymes with "save."]

How about, "Lavender's green (dilly dilly)" = two 'e's in 'green,' two 'e's in lavender...

No?
