Stepping Up My Spellcheck Game!

If you didn't notice, in the beginning, I was publishing stuff without using spellcheck, which always likes to leave me with spelling mistakes! Lately, I've been trying to make spelling errors less common by proof reading more and using a spellcheck, but of course, spelling mistakes still find a way to sneak through! You know, when you misspell a word, but it's an actual word! Like "Get 'read' of" when it should be "Get 'rid' of"? So sometimes the spellcheck doesn't catch those errors. If it wasn't for autocorrect on my phone, I would be living in a nightmare! I'd be the worst person to text ever if I had no autocorrect! If you're wondering why, yes, this is all because I'm dyslexic. It's very minor, but I still make quite a few errors. You shouldn't see too many spelling errors now, and if you do, it's because I didn't see it while proof reading (I should really get someone in my house to proof read it for me honestly..), or it's because my spellchecker didn't detect it. 

Quick and funny story, I didn't find out I was dyslexic until I was about 15 or 16. I was at the DMV to take my written drivers test, and you have to take an eye exam first (so that if you pass, they can just put if you need to where glasses or not on your permit, and it will be printed out already). I am also near sighted, so the smaller letters on the eye chart I couldn't really read because they were too blurry, but the bigger letters I thought I was just reading fine. Some were hard to make out (because of course they change shape to look like a nother letter) and the y lady said I really needed to get glasses when I said the bigger letters almost all wrong. When I memtioned that I do have glasses for seeing far away, I didn't understand how I did so bad on the top letters. She asked if I was dyslexic, and I didn't think I was at the time. But now that I think back, it should've been obvious to me, but of course it wasn't. It wasn't super obvious because it is a very minor form, so I never had to be in special ed or anything like that. Lucky me! Okay, story over now!

I am in the middle of updating, so expect to see it tomorrow! Huggles! ^.^

lol I could edit your stuff if you want me to... just a suggestion though XD maybe it's just me after taking a bunch of English writing classes over the past few years and also writing for publication at school but I'm overly picky about spelling and grammar...
and I'm looking forward to your update XD
