I forgot how to properly spell Spider

[ZMW]

I was helping my son with spelling, Kindergarten stuff, and the word "spider" came up. Naturally, I spelled it Spyder. And then my wife asks how I spelled it, and I said with confidence - s p Y d e r. Like, Duh, that is how you spell it. I had no idea I was wrong, she had to correct me in front of my Son - basic english at the K level.

Thanks Spyderco for rewiring my vocab

Guilty as well. Not to mention my phone forgot...

Ha! My wife had to correct me just the other night. Didn't even cross my mind. Mike

I can certainly relate! :)

I finished a trade at 19yrs old and from then till I was 40yrs old I was a steel erector/rigger (I think you blokes call us high iron workers) then I erected and dismantled Favco/Favelle Tower Cranes for a while and finally operated them on High Rise Construction till I gave it all away and got the desk jockeys job I have now. :rolleyes:

Anyhow, it’s my long winded way of saying when I started in the job I have now (Mechanical Design Draftsman) I had to relearn how to spell even the simplest of words. I still struggle but back when I first started I used to type words that even Spell Check couldn’t recognise. :eek:

Now I are a exeptionel spella and I use very good granma and my England has impooved allot two. :cool:

Hi ZMW,

That's funny. Though I too can relate.

Bloke, great representation.
