I am wearing my dictionary out looking up words I can't remember how to spell. It's rather frustrating because I've always been an excellent speller. It's one of the few things I was able to do well.
My spelling is coming back, slowly but surely, and I've not had any trouble looking things up cause I could remember the first two or three letters.
I now have a word I can't remember how to spell. I've tried looking it up in the dictionary to no avail. What to do? Spelling the word as it sounds is not working. I can't find the word any where.
So I decided to post about it. I wasn't going to tell what the word was, noooooo, just to embarrassing.
Then I thought......why not type the word here in my post, the way I think it's spelled and see what happens.
I clicked on "ABC" and up popped the correct spelling!
Computers have replaced the Dictionary!!
Now that's a good thing!
Ok, the word was "nostalgia".
You can laugh now!

I am the worlds worst speller. I needed to spell a word the other day. I wasn't sure if it was right for the dictionary could not figure what I was spelling and the book, I couldn't find it there either. I gave up and said," I was sick to my stomach". What word did I need? Can you spell it for me? :)
LOL, I can't even spell theire or htere anymore, I get ot typing too fast!
I've tagged your blog, please visit my blog for the rules if you want to play along!
I was wondering why you weren't trying to find it on the computer. It's such a help! But I see you found that out! Pretty darn cool!
I won't laugh! I do this all the time and I got straight A's in spelling!
Hugs,

I'm in good company.....I feel so much better now!!!
