is it age or alcoholism?

I used to be a spelling maniac. I knew how to spell everything.

now....I am constantly second guessing myself and googling spelling.

the latest was "unapproachable". I got that one on the first try and I am literally shocked. but its an easy one. or should be.

by the way, the title is rhetorical.

I know its most likely due to alcohol thats deteriorating me.

if only every word was spelled phonetically 😭

It's neither, it's the grammar Nazis!
So what if you spell something wrong, it's probably a typo.

@Mindfulness I used to (and I guess I still do) pride myself on spelling and grammar. its silly. but it used to be my one strong suit. now....I feel totally worthless (ok that sounds depressing but you get the idea....I hope)

@HellsBelle I'm the same, sort of, English language was always my best and favourite subject, I could use long words to pretend I was intelligent. Then poor eyesight, small phones and rushed texts, a few mistakes later and your confidence is shot.

@Mindfulness what is your first language? I cant tell....I see you use "ou" but as far as I know thats just british or canadian

@HellsBelle my first language is English, born and bred in Wales and a proud fluent Welsh speaker, but English is the predominant language here.
