I’m sure the next two comments after mine won’t derail the thread at all, but I just walked into a spider web this morning and it was creepy AF. I am not scared of spiders, but there are these big ones that come out at the end of summer and put up webs all over the yard and between our house and the neighbors. I didn’t see the web at all and bam! I couldn’t tell if a spider was in my hair or not but I thought it was there for a moment. And I know you’re thinking “Oh those spiders can’t be all that big, can they” Let me assure you, they are like a foot long from stem to stern. ---

I’m delighted to boast that I always type Wednesday and February correctly, despite not pronouncing all their letters. It’s my keyboard that keeps misspelling them! ---

Why do so many people misspell words like Wednesday and February and Mxyzptlk? Do they also mispronounce them? ---
