I know that my spelling is off most of the time but I am really bad at it. Sometimes I stump the computer. But for those who read my posts you have to understand that I spell out how the words sound. Sometimes that does not work. I am not dyslexic as far as I know, but I think that in my Organizationally challenged life bad spelling is part of that. Or maybe I have the dyslexia that many artists do, I look for the shape in words, maybe not. I also think of the letters that make the sounds of the words or possible letters and therefore misspell a lot of things. Of course it may be the chemicals that I am exposed to in the art department. I do a lot of the spell checks in word, and my last RP I had my friend look over for me. Um by the way what does BTW mean? I have known English all my life but I still have a hard time with the abbreviations and the acronyms. But I live in a state with two languages that are spoken all the time, Spanish and English. I can figure out what the Spanish speakers are saying, to a point I get the gist. I cannot learn it to save my life; I tried once. But anyway, I also have a hard time saying a lot of words too in my own language. So for most of you who know more than one language I tip my hat to you. The RPGs have helped much more than I expected, because I am now beginning to catch my mistakes. Of course this may be due to my English instructor and that evil research paper. Anyway now that you are board to death I shall stop!
