definitely embarrassing.

i recently realized that i've been spelling these two words incorrectly for as long as i can remember.

definitely. {i thought it was definately with an a}

embarrassing. {i thought it was embarassing with ONE r. and apparently i realized this once before, and yet i continued to spell it wrong!}

i blame all of my grammatical and spelling errors on spell check. it's made terrible spellers of us all.

the thing that i really hate about it is... i'll just say it... i'm kind of a snob about spelling and grammar. {you might be wondering why i don't give a flying whatever about capitalization. well... i just don't!} i'm one of those people who secretly takes great pleasure in finding spelling errors in books, on fliers, on signs, in the newspaper, etc. i found a spelling error in my copy of the memory keeper's daughter and it made my whole week. i'm also the type who wants to die of embarrassment when i look back on my posts and find a typo. it kills me, and i have to fix it immediately. it's a horrible and judgmental habit, and i'm sorry.

i'm also sorry for all future spelling/grammar errors. i'm sure there will be many. it's a blog, after all, not a professional publication.
