My brain is somewhat fucked in a number of ways. One of those ways is dealing with words – yes, reading and writing.
A specific problem I have is remembering the spelling of a handful of words I use semi-regularly.
And one of those words is “amateur” (correct spelling).
After a time I ways revert to spelling it as “ameture” (incorrect spelling).
I know this is incorrect, and every time I wait for software spellcheckers to pick it up… and every time they fail.
Which begs the question: what is wrong with spellcheckers?
Surely the incorrect spelling is close enough to the correct spelling – in both sound and structure – to have a common rule?
