    Something that makes you feel stupid...

    What is something that you do (or don't do because you are afraid of looking dumb) or think that gives you the "OMG, I'm such an idiot" feel?


    For example...I never know when to use affect vs effect. Seriously.


    Also, I always, always, always spell character wrong. Thank the gods for spell check.
    “You have never answered but you did not need to. If I stand at the ocean I can hear you with your thousand voices. Sometimes you shout, hilarious laughter that taunts all questions. Other nights you are silent as death, a mirror in which the stars show themselves. Then I think you want to tell me something, but you never do. Of course I know I have written letters to no-one. But what if I find a trident tomorrow?" ~~Letters to Poseidon, Cees Nooteboom

    “We still carry this primal relationship to the Earth within our consciousness, even if we have long forgotten it. It is a primal recognition of the wonder, beauty, and divine nature of the Earth. It is a felt reverence for all that exists. Once we bring this foundational quality into our consciousness, we will be able to respond to our present man-made crisis from a place of balance, in which our actions will be grounded in an attitude of respect for all of life. This is the nature of real sustainability.”
    ~~Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee

    "We are the offspring of history, and must establish our own paths in this most diverse and interesting of conceivable universes--one indifferent to our suffering, and therefore offering us maximal freedom to thrive, or to fail, in our own chosen way."
    ~~Stephen Jay Gould, Wonderful Life: The Burgess Shale and the Nature of History

    "Humans are not rational creatures. Now, logic and rationality are very helpful tools, but there’s also a place for embracing our subjectivity and thinking symbolically. Sometimes what our so-called higher thinking can’t or won’t see, our older, more primitive intuition will." John Beckett

    Twenty times a day I light up a smoke. Every time I do, I feel like an idiot - because every time I do, I am an idiot.
    Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

    I used to also do that B.De.,and know just how hard it is to stop(I still get the cravings after over a year stopped) I also know WHY I smoked,and most likely why you still do..

    I feel like an idiot when I talk to younger people,because I am old,and at times have no idea what they are talking about...

    I can't type the word 'because' without having to go back and correct it. Ever. I always, without fail, type 'becasue'. For some reason, my mental wiring has a defect in that spot.

    Can you hear me, Major Tom? I think I love you.

    Basic math. I have dyscalculia (like dyslexia, but with numbers), so basic stuff that a ten-year-old can do eludes me.

    The genitive s... I'm never quite sure if I put the ' in the right place.

    Re: Something that makes you feel stupid...

    I think for me it's got to be using There, Their and They're. I almost always reverse the e & i in their on the first typing. It's probably not unusual but Alter and Altar used to get me as I meant Altar as in a religious usage but would write alter.

    A pet peeve though has to be plane and plain. I see so many talk about alternate plains of reality or dimensions but always it seems they write plane.

    Basic subtraction sometimes gives me issues. I'm usually pretty good with letters, but the word "receipt" always messes me up, I have to be super careful when writing it.

    I will say entree as ennnntreeeeee. I'd like the chicken eeeeentreeee.
    And we have an auto section at work. It's automotive. Not my automAYtive.

    And on a more serious darker note? My lack of clarity in my eyesight. I have the blurry coke bottle vision due to Diabetes. So little details get missed. Quite a few times I will be asking for something right in front of me. Or told to go get a small tool and I'm staring at the wall not know where it's at. Even though I know it's right there in front of me.

    Nope, it's not just you. The a and s are right next to each other.
