Is there a word for when something mundane and common suddenly seems alien? I just wrote down the word "broadway" and I stared at it for about 30 seconds thinking "broad" is an impossibly strange spelling and there's no way that's how it's spelt. The o before the a just looks so weird but I've wrote that words at least hundreds of times in my life.
Also when I say a word many times in a row it starts sounding like it's not a real word any more.
I don't think I'm making any sense so I'm just gonna wrap this up

I spell things sometimes and look at it, going "wait a minute, is that really how that's spelled?.. the fuck.." then I google it. Probably a normal thing. |

Speaking of words I hate when people say "spelt". In my opinion it sounds very bad. I thought there is no way that is a word but I was wrong it actually is and has multiple meanings. But yeah I do the same thing too when it comes to words. |

yea i get this sometimes as well, you write a word and it looks wrong, then the more you think about it the more wrong the spelling looks until that word that u KNOW is written like that looks completely weird.
dunno why that is though |
