This is one thing that frustrates me a great deal about myself and quite embarrassing as well. I have a pretty good memory and if I hear a phone number once I’ll remember it for weeks.(Birthdays and appointments too) And, I can mentally recall events from my childhood in great detail, for example: I can mentally scan my bedroom that I had when I was four years-old and tell you exactly where everything was placed in that room. But, I can’t spell worth beans! Isn’t spelling correctly just memory anyway....remembering where letters are placed in a word? How can I become a better speller? Thanks a lot. PS. Even in writing this question I spelled the word “embarrassing” wrong.....man, how embarrassing!

Letoflubilie: A fake word I created (and googled to make sure it really isn't a word). I am looking for a definition. Please state whether it will be a verb (v.), noun (n.), adjective (adj.), adverb (adv.), etc. Please give a detailed definition (or multiple if you decide it can have different meanings) and 2 examples (use it in a sentence twice). The best definition will be the winner. If I get a decent response to this, I'll do at least one a week.

I have seen a lawyer's ad wanting clients to sue a contact lens company. They say the lenses have caused "scaring" , I am sure they mean "scarring".
Also ads that say If you have" side effects of this drug, or die from taking it, please call our law offices."

I would like to know if the word "Keeper" means ONLY a person who looks after a place/thing or can it also mean a person who helds/posseses/keeps something (from the word - "keep"). I know we can also have other definitions like: zookeeper but we must put a specyfic heading. Always?

I've seen several questions asking why people must place positive or negative labels on words. These suggest that the shock value of the words is an indication of how "anal" the hearer is. Some even suggest that those who don't want to hear about this f'n thing and that f'n thing are closed-minded and stupid.

I once got a preacher (at some weird encounter group or other, many years ago) to shout the F word over and over, so I'm hardly unfamiliar with the concept.

I'm older now, and quite certain that if all the current cuss words became a standard part of the formal language over night, most young people (and some who are not young, but haven't grown up), would immediately start searching for words to freak out the previous generations, in order to prove to themselves what rebels, and how open-minded, they are! It's a necessary part of becoming an adult to prove that you aren't your parents!

What do you think?

Do you type it this way (this is an example :))?
Or this way (another example :) )?
Or like this (yet another example :)?
Or would you type it after the parentheses (like this) :)?

I'm just wondering... it's not necessary, in most cases, to type a smiley face in a sentence like this. However, if you were to do so, which way is proper?

I say you use it before any word that sounds like a vowel. For instance, I would say, " I ate an M&M." Even though M is not a vowel. My boyfriend says you only use the word AN before a word starting with a vowel. Which is it?
