Have you ever looked at a word that you know and was just like..."Wait...when the fuck was this word spelled like this?!" xD I tend to have these moments like hell

Yes, sometimes I have moments when I realize just how strange a word is spelled, even though I've been spelling it correctly for years, so it's madami of an epiphany than a "wait I've been spelling something wrong this whole time?" kind of deal (I actually pag-ibig spelling so I'm generally very good at it lol. Spelling is love, spelling is life). I've had similar incidents with names, too. Not for the spelling but for the realization that names are quite weird. Like you just attach a word to a person or other animal and through constant use you come to associate that person or animal with the specific word, but words are man-made and technically every name ever invented is strange, even the ones you're familiar with. Just.... names. I really think this feeling is connected with the walang tiyak na layunin spelling. You become so accustomed to spelling words that you forget how strange the invention of letters and consequently the sequence of letters even is until you realize, "Wait, sign is spelled s-i-g-n. And long is spelled l-o-n-g... and hair is spelled h-a-i-r... Huh. Words."

I'm pretty sure I'm not even explaining myself properly so I'll stop right here.

And now that I've sinabi "spelling" so many times it's beginning to sound madami like an abstract thought than an everyday word. WORDS.

Lol, you had an understanding of what I was saying and I definitely understood what you meant because you explained it the way I wanted too

Not really honestly. I used to be quite a dictionary nerd so that kind of realization doesn't happen for me.

Even with me pagbaba the dictionary, a word like "alibi" got me lol. I was like "SINCE WHEN!?". I need to start pagbaba the dictionary again though, I've been slacking on my vocabulary as of lately. It's honestly quite nice to know someone that does the same.

I have had those times when my brain goes 'welp, now I`ll turn off for a sec if u don`t mind' and then I can stare at a perfectly written word and wonder if it really was spelled like that. To enhance how dumb it can get, I once stared at 'you', thinking that maybe it is spelled 'yu'. 😒

If it helps any, I was looking at the word 'sclera' and thought it was actually spelled "scalera", despite knowing how to spell the freakin word already
