Some things, like typing smeeling instead of smelling, just bring a smile to my face. I dunno why, they just do. I wonder at the scribe-monks of the midieval era and whether some things they spelled differently were simply because it made them smile.
I have a fascination with the way I type and mis-type things, partly stemming form my continuing struggles with dyslexia (see, I misspelled something in that previous sentence, and it wasn't the 'five dollar' word). I have managed to train myself pretty thoroughly against most errors. Usually it's words like believe and others that, even with the I before E rules and such, I just cannot seem to soak up. One just seems like it might be in front of another. I have to make little hand movements when hand-writing a b or d. It's the way I'm wired.
And before you ask, learning to march was an absolute fucking bithc!
I wonder at it sometimes, and sometimes I get angry at my errors.
At others I just laugh. I mean, come the fuck on, ADD and dyslexia? Smeeling? How can you not laugh?
Shit.
I've always created new words for myself when typing...some I actually use, and have gotten others to use! For instance, "speediate" - to make something go faster by getting someone else to do it.
