Spelling...
My word! I always felt I was a good speller. But somewhere in my body's electrical system, the spelling signal gets lost between my brain and my fingers as they type. Every time I post, I look back at it the next day and there's some word spelled all cattywompus. BTW, how DO you spell cattywompus? And is it a real word?

I actually went to dictionary.com (yes, I know I'm a geek) and it's spelled "catawampus" and means "askew" or "awry." Don't you feel better?
cattywAmpus.
From your sister who never got anything less than an A in Language Arts. Neener neener.
Okay, so now I have TWO suggestions for how to spell cattywampus, and neither makes sense. Spelling it with an "a" would make it have a short "a" sound, but as we speak it here in PA, it definitely is "short o." Maybe whoever came up with the word spelled it wrong to begin with. I refuse to admit I'm wrong. It MUST the dictionary... ar, ar, ar!
Well, my google speller says half the words I type out aren't real. Phooey on google speller.
And feel free to post your dirty floor any ol time. Mine only looked that clean because I had just mopped it for the party we were supposed to have.
