1. Yes, I constantly have to look things up.
I'm completely disgusted with myself.

8. I find it's mostly that I can't type.
In high school I somehow managed to get my mother (a writer...with some serious typewriter skills) to type up my papers. On top of that, I had the assistant football coach for typing class (instead of the scary full time typing teacher) who's heart really wasn't in it. So I learned nothing and it's been that way ever since.

9. No, But My Vocabulary Has Gone to the Dumper
Edited on Fri Nov-12-04 12:35 PM by Crisco
Ever since I discovered online gaming /gamechatting. I stopped over a year ago, and occasionally there are words I still can't get back. Last week I had to describe what scaffolding looked like and what it's for, to a friend, because I couldn't come up with the word. Freaky.

10. NO KIDDING.....
I used to have immaculate spelling. Now, I have to look at my driver's license every time I type my name.

12. I've never had the ability to spell.
And an IQ of 120, with two university degrees hasn't made it any better.

(spellcheck caught two errors in this post)
