Do you ever forget how to spell words

[speckledfrog]

Awhile back I could not remember how to spell who. I finally figured it out but I wondered, in the meantime, if I had sustained some sort of brain damage without my knowledge.

Yes!

Yes. And this weekend I forgot the word for 'stairs'. I was pointing at them, with random syllables coming out of my mouth, trying to tell H something. Finally I touched one and asked him what it was called and he looked at me like I had 3 heads.

I really need this week to be over, and to wake up drunk on the beach Sunday.

Yes! Then sometimes I think about it for so long that I even second guess that it's even the right word to use.

I once spent time pondering if WAS was the correct spelling, I just kept staring at it thinking it looked wrong.

I forgot "garlic bread" last night for a few minutes when FI asked me what was in the oven. I was like "I put the um.. uh... the stuff... the thing...uhhhhh... in the oven..." and he was just nodding at staring at me until I shouted "GARLIC BREAD" like a moron.

I remember being young, probably elementary/middle school age, and I could not remember how to spell 'of' and after sitting there for quite a while wrote 'ov' instead. I took it to the teacher and told her I knew that wasn't right but I couldn't remember how to spell it. I was so embarrassed.

I suck at spelling in general (turns out cheating on all those spelling tests really doesn't pay) and have taken to using the little google search box. As long as I can make a general guess, it gets me the rest of the way there. What's really depressing is when even google can't figure out what I mean.

And I still can't correctly spell glamorous without singing the song (and yeah, I just sang G-L-A-M-O-R-OUS! Flyin' first class...)

I didn't respond to this earlier, because I really didn't have anything to contribute. However, on a sort of unrelated note, I was just addressing an envelope at work and actually forgot how to write the number "7". How the heck does that even happen? I just started laughing and now my coworkers think I'm crazy.

Not often. But sometimes a very simple word just looks so weird. Like put. P-U-T. That can't be right. Lol.
