Have you ever written something, then stopped and stared at one word for an age, wondering if you had spelt it correctly?? It sometimes happens to me, but kicked in yesterday. With the word "the".

Working with addresses and Cornish cottage names means you see a lot of "The Hobbit Hole, Cornwall" or "Kernow Kottage, Cornwall", and whilst I winced as I had to deliberately mispell the word cottage as specified, I found myself looking at the same word, whilst next to me, stunner data pixie pondered how to text the word wierd, finding the i before e rule strange and pumping for weird. And as I laughed at "The Wicky Woos Warren Hole", I found myself typing "the" as "theer" as I sneezed thanks to a bloody duvet thief. And for a moment there, as I stared at it, I thought that I was right.
