Puuuh! *wipes her brow* Glad I am allowed to make typos ;-) No really, I
used to be horrible in english and that just got better when I started
reading lots of FF and catching the occasional english movie. Mostly I don't
make many spelling errors (except the typos, which happen all the time), but
sometimes I will find me sitting in an exam, wondering about words that I
normally use on a daily basis! After the test is over, the memory will
reappear and I feel very stupid <g>. Spelling problems normally disappear if
i write the word down in the two versions I am wondering about. One of them
will normally look extremely weird - then the figurative lightbulb flashes
above my head...
