Why is it that when you repeat the SAME WORD over and over and over (say like 20-30 times), it no longer sounds like the word it is meant to be??? It just sounds... WEIRD. Is there a term for this or a scientific explanation?If you've never done it, try saying fork like 30 times. The word will start to sound STRANGE to you. (just curious)

I used to have this concern, too. it is not an illustration of undesirable writing, till you save it that way. you only might desire to strengthen your vocabulary somewhat... there is an difficulty-free restoration to this, nevertheless! :) once you're utilising Microsoft be conscious, only press the glossary button. in case you have the latest version of place of work (2010), then it may be chanced on under the evaluate section. in case you have a prior version of place of work, then only go searching. you will discover it quickly adequate. :) Now, as quickly as you have the glossary up, only form in a be conscious. it provide you some advantageous possibilities. i discover myself utilising it lots. P.S. - in my opinion, i think of that's alright to apply the comparable words each now and then. A well-known rule of thumb, pass 2 sentences before you utilize a be conscious lower back. it rather is, till the be conscious is an difficulty-free one, alongside with: the, a, of, and so on... i'm hoping I helped you! :)

I feel the same way sometimes! It barely even looks like a word, let alone sounds like one - doesn't it? The repetition makes you really question English! lol.
