S, T, & U

“WHAT ARE WORDS?’

S is for SPELLING {the writing of one or more words with letters and diacritic}

T is for TOADY {one who flatters in the hope of gaining favors}

U is for UNIQUE {existing as the only one or as the sole example; single, solitary in type or characteristics}

I’ve been AWOL again. Having a bit of a struggle with this strep infection in my arm and the medication. I think the worst is over. So once again, I’m on catch up and have three words for you covering the letters S, T and U.

If you’re a writer SPELLING is pretty important. Have you ever noticed that there are some words that your brain refuses to wrap around. I have a list on a ‘white board’ over my desk of some of those pesky rascals. Most of my SPELLING problems are typos combined with my mild dyslexia. I send letters scurrying all over the place and then I don’t even notice those little red lines ‘Word’ uses to signal misspelled words. BUT sometimes, I create typos that are actually words. One of my favorite expressions of dismay or disgust is ‘Oh carp!’ If you follow me, you’ve probably seen that one before. Recently I’ve had a new one pointed out to me. I seem to like to go places, or do something, TOADY. Occasionally I’m TOADY all over the place. Hope you’ve figured out that should be TODAY.

Hopefully my UNIQUE way of SPELLING doesn’t put you off too much. Hopefully you’re laughing with me and not at me. How about you? Got any UNIQUE ways of saying/spelling/misspelling certain words?
