Re: Ken-misunderstandings/mis-spellings

[Guest guest]

Actually- mis-spellings as a symtpom is an interesting topic.

I am a big (spelling) offender on line - transposing letters, and

misspelling - and this started for me about 5 years ago (I'm 57).

And on top of that sometimes I can't recognize if something is

spelled correctly or not. THAT's what worries me more.

I used to be a perfect in spelling, but alot of healthy people I've

talk to said their spelling degrades as they age.. (but not

recognition whether they're spelled correctly or not)

I just wonder how many people use spell check - or go over their

posts before hitting send.. I just installed a new tool bar with

spell check- so if I'm not in a hurry and take the time to use it -

then I'll look 'cured'.

Is it an age thing? Or not? or both?

I'm not sure.

I type so fast I mispell things all the time and rarely spell check,

perhaps thats rude but I hope not.

But I do notice I make errors that I doubt I would've made prelyme. I

was writing someone about studies and my story (article) and at some

point in the email I wrote " stories " instead of " studies. " Is that

lyme? Maybe.

I hear ya, Marie. My mom was an English teacher, I didn't use to

have those problems either...

Ken, on the other hand, has another native language, but writes in

English so well I wouldn't have guessed.

Sadly, I have been and remain mono-lingual. Or, on a bad day, sub-

lingual, my words melting under my tongue before I can get them out.

I can only hope their B-12 content is high...

Ah bad puns. Always good for what ails me.

Good morning, I & I!

Hi Barb,

I know I'm coming into this thread a bit late, but I think it is a computer thing. It's like talking (such as teaching a class) and writing on the blackboard at the same time. It is so easy to mess up the spelling, or even the meaning, of what is being written. I think it is different parts of our brains that handle sequence of letters (spelling) and writing (or typing on a computer). I think a lot of us who might spell perfectly well if we were handwriting misspell things when we type on a computer.
