My Typing Mental Block

[fmdog44]

I must have a block typing the word "because" and the reason is most of the time I spell it "becuase". I can't kick it. Weird.

There are certain simple words that I sometimes have to look up the spelling for. I think it's a normal thing, considering how many words are in our vocabulary.

Many people (including myself) have a very mild form of dyslexia - so mild it goes unnoticed. I also occasionally spell a word with letters reversed & I've always been a very good speller. Sometimes I also leave a word out.

That's because your right index finger is faster than you left baby finger. There, problem solved!

Me too. I can reread the sentence two or three times and see the missing word. When I hit ‘post’, then I realize it’s not there.

My personal trouble word is *necessary* I ALWAYS have to look it up.

My spell check on the computer helps me some with words, but messes me up too many times in other ways.

Yeah, I completely understand. A month or so ago, I could not recall how to spell "does". I typed it out and it didn't look right to me. I thought, "Hey, wait a minute. That is NOT the way to spell "does".

I'm there with that

Auto spell check is sooooooo nice

 

[Shero]

Yes, I do have minor mental blocks when typing in other languages. My mother languages are French and Hawaiian and although I speak English fluently, and Italian, sometimes I forget a simple word, so I do the automatic thing and write it in either French or Hawaiian.

My spell checker threatens suicide when I type.

Yes, if you misspell a word, but it's still a real word, spell check won't detect it.
BTW, the most often misspelled word is "misspell." it's often spelled "mispell."

Maybe it's because they are female deer.

If it weren't for spell check my posts would be illegible. I have lots of words like your because, and others I never knew how to spell!

I always wondered why we spell seize with an ei and siege with an ie, when they sound so much alike.
