bizarre loss of correct spelling awareness...

[AQuestion]

if only for one moment...

I just looked at the word people and it looked totally foreign and bizarre; in essence I just lost my familiarity powers and lost certainty over the spelling of the word 'people'...but then, after like five secs, I got them back and all was normal again.

it's kinda cool when that happens...it puts things, or words, rather, in some sort of perspective or something...

also kinda' weird-cool when you say a word out loud and it all of a sudden sounds odd or as if you've never heard yourself or anyone else say it before, let alone ever heard of the word and it's like...you get lost or dazed or something for a sec or two or three or however long this type of weird-coolness goes on...

It gets worse.

As I age, more and more correctly spelled words look wrong.

Just the other day, I questioned whether I spelled "the" right.

No kidding.

Geesh.

I no what you mean. I no what is on the end of my fork. The uncanny when something familiar seems strange.
