Do you ever pronounce a word oddly in your head to spell it correctly?
Mine are:

B, e, a, uuuuuutiful (beautiful)

-From Bruce Almighty

Ba, log, na (Bologna)

-When people started annoying me by singing this song, I decided a faster, (funnier?) way to remember.
And I think this thread is the first time I've ever needed to.

Yes, more specifically the part where he spells his name. I don't like typing that word, because it takes me too long because of that.

Haha, yeah I do that too. Never really thought anyone else did it. In addition to the ones you said that I do, I say pro, bab, ly, and wed, nes, day in my head whenever I write it.


Why is it that a man can't hold another man's scrotum in the palm of his hand (as an act of friendship) without risking being called a member of the homosexual community?

Also bothered me so badly when people spell 'Connecticut' wrong, and spell it like Conneticut.

I second this.
It's funny, I never had any trouble spelling beautiful before seeing Bruce Almighty, but now I can't do it without thinking to myself that quote :D
And bologna has always been that way, since I hate how it's spelled :P
That and champagne. I say that as sham-pahg-nee :D
