Along with my french background (which I think from now on I will just refer to as my "learning disability," considering I don't actually remember ANY french, but I still can't spell English words) I am a creative person; I love to write, cut, glue, paint, sew, crochet. I just love to make things. I especially love it when I have a good idea, and I can carry it out. I'm not very good at following directions sometimes, which is why I'm not a great sewer - you have to do things the right way, in the right order if you want it to look right. There are rules. There are also rules in spelling, and I'm not very good at following those either.
There are a few words that I memorized:
- there, their & they're
- your, you're
- our, are
- then, than
Finally, along with the french disability, and the creativity - I am a proud Canadian, and I appreciate that we spell things differently from our American counterparts. That being said- sometimes I get a little overzealous with with my patriotism by adding 'u' to words where they don't actually belong.
You get the point. There are a few words though, that regardless of all the red pen and spell check I've come across I can NEVER spell them properly.
- favourite. I know, I know- favorite
- truley - Truly
- deap - Deep
- wierd - Weird
- speghetti - spaghetti
- vaccum - vacuum
The point of all this? None really. I'm just glad for the little red line that pops up (way to often every time I plunk myself in front of this screen) and allows me to correct myself before I post embarassing blunders...embarrassing. Dangit.
