2. #11. I'd like to make a withdrawal.

Seriously, every time I go into a bank, that's what I INTEND to write on the note, but my spelling is so bad that it comes out: PUT ALL YER FREAKIN' MONEY IN A BAG IF YOU DON'T WANNA GET HURT.
.
I almost always realize my mistake JUST after the teller takes the slip from me... but, at that point, it's not like you can say, "Oops, sorry. My bad."
.
"Proofreading for Dummies."
.
THAT's what I need.

A tip I'll pass along. Until the exploding dye wears off, just tell people you're in The
Blue Man Group (or Purple Man or Orange Man -- you'll need a little flexibility here.)

5. I've come to the conclusion that for many of us

it's not the spelling that's at issue. Sometimes this media moves faster than our brains can process the synonyms. Too many people, such as myself, who have always excelled at spelling, are having the same problems at times.

Fun graphic, tho. :hi:

8. Already and all right.
There's no "alright." But there is an "all ready."

Also, no "s" at the end of "toward."

11. Cute! Maybe it will help me to remember "affect" and "effect".
Now I need one to figure out "lie", "lay", "lain", "laid", and "layed". :)
