scenes from the murkworks: spelling is hard

Me: “I’m having one of those “taip” moments* again. With is w-i-t-h, right?”

Anna: “w-i-d-t-h”

Me: “no, with, like avec

Anna: “oh! w-i-t-h. yes.”

I’m pretty amused I had to go to French to explain what with was lol


* I once forgot how to spell “tape” for like… hours. “Taip? tayp? Taipe? Goddammit”

I once looked at the word "going" and said "No, that can't be right, there's no way that's a word" and was so uneasy about it that I managed to convince my sister as well!
