I must make a confession - until about 2 years ago, maybe 3, I misspelled the word 'embarrassment' - how embarrassing is that!?! I could have sworn on some-person-who-I-do-not-know's grave that there was only one 'r' in that word. 'Embarassment' - that still looks right to me - can't get my head around the fact that I, supercilious-spelling-bitch-face-that-I-am, misspelled it for eons. Well, maybe decades. I always have to check my own spelling of: liaise, conjure ( a word I totally over-used in English Literature essays and to make matters worse, spelled as 'conjer' - oh, the humanity), humorous...oh, I can't think of any others now but I know they're out there.
On the other hand, there are words that I just can't type without making a mistake: my own name, for Pete's sake - I must have to retype my name 9 times out of 10 - I always reverse a couple of the letters. And for the life of me: October - I cannot type that word without having made at least three attempts. And as it is October now, I'm right in the thick of retyping hell.
Roll on November.
