Spelling SkiLLz
When did I lose the ability to spell (well)? Or was I never a good speller, and am only now realizing it? I'm finding that many of my renditions don't pass muster in the dictionary when I check them. There's a thin yet indispersable (undispersible?) miasma of uncertainty as I type them in. Right or wrong? Must look it up.
No good examples come to mind, except brocolli. Or maybe broccoli. Dispersiblequite possibly not even a word at all? Undispersible? The problem extends to vocabulary. And grammar.
Satzbau. Wortschatz. Maybe reading other languages is my problem.
I'm certain that the number of c's doesn't equal the number of l's. And I would bet on 'broccoli,' rather than brocolli. Hagot it right. But I guessed.
