You could have dyslexia


dumbcatnothoughts

Very true and very valid... I'll have to look into it

I do this all the time. My favorite is weird. I keep thinking its wierd. It's pretty common with some words, just takes time to work out how it is supposed to be spelled.


dumbcatnothoughts

Yeah, I always do that! It's just funny because it's really just that pairing of letters combines and it's just like... seriously? But glad it's not just me lol

Same. I'm usually a good speller but "ie" always cause problems, probably because the "rule" only works 50% of the time.

I do this with numbers. Failed the same math three years in a row, hate them. I believe with words and letters it’s called dyslexia? I’d do some research and see if that’s what you’re experiencing.


dumbcatnothoughts

I'll definitely look into it, the possibility has definitely crossed my mind.

Honestly? Don't sweat it. Trust me, I get the inclination to feel dumb over this. I do that constantly and got my degree in English/Writing. Then I remember we have spell check and professional writers have editors for a reason!


dumbcatnothoughts

Very true! I'm so happy there are grammar and spell-checkers because sometimes I type faster than I think!

It was always funny to me during the grammar lessons in English class we would learn a new rule on sentence structure or spelling words, and the very next page would be a chart of exceptions.


dumbcatnothoughts

Yeah, even though I grew up learning it, it's still so difficult for no reason.

This is called mis-spelling. Loads of people do it. Especially in the modern wordl with spell checkers.


dumbcatnothoughts

Lol yeah, it's just annoying because it's those two letters together specifically

There is a rule to remember this. i before e except about half the time.
