I'm doomed...

I'm doomed...

I tend to like spelling words correctly. In fact, I pride myself on my spelling and it drives me a little crazy when I see a word spelled incorrectly. Even if it is phonetically sound. Hah, good pun there.

Anyway, today I learned that I cannot even spell the word marriage! I am doomed to an existence of being single! Worse, I have trouble spelling commitment too!!

Thankfully we have spell check here to make me feel a little better anyway.

 Don't feel badly, as you are in good company. I've known many men who couldn't say those words let alone spell them! It just means that you haven't met the right girl yet.

And I also don't like to see words misspelled! Drives me a bit bonkers...

Happy Wednesday D.

Thanks, Kay

Actually this all came about because I spelled the word marriage with only one "r" on a card for a coworker.

    No. There's nothing wrong with you. I just saw a study in the New England Journal of Medicine that says that men who have been married more than two years start having trouble spelling certain words. It appears that the non control group was treated with massive amounts of drugs and electroshock therapy.

    The results are promising and its shows that despite several deaths, and serious side effects, such as STeven Johnson Syndrome, (which is a severe allergic reaction that makes your skin peel off), blood in stools and severe hypoglycemia, the test subjects were better able to spell target words associated with their spousal relationship with 80% more accuracy than the control subjects. Unfortuately, once treatment was discontinued, the problems returned. It's not really a cure, but a lifelong treatment.

    All I am saying is ...there is hope...
So if I do end up getting married, I can expect to get worse after a couple of years?!

hehe, actually you made me feel a lot better, thank you and my stools remain bloodless.

Thank you for stopping by I am sorry that I did not reciprocate until now

It is funny, I did not notice until now how capitalization for myself has kind of stopped. I did notice how smiley faces replaced some punctuation but not the capitals!

I hope that you are well and happy today
