I have become a tarrible speler

When I was in school some decades ago, I was a good speller. Not now. I repeatedly misspell the same words over and over and let spell checker fix it. Sometimes I am even surprised when I spell a word correctly.

I have become a faster typist, though. I wonder if others have experienced this.

Sometimes. Sometimes the frickin’ spell check changes things that don’t need changing, or changes them to a word I didn’t intend to use, and I have to correct it 3 times, and then I’m a much slower typist.

It could be worse. You could become a terrible smeller.

Do you have any examples of words you repeatedly misspell but were able to spell correctly before?

I’ve lost my good spelling skills, too. I suspect age…
