Fear of the letter "u"
My friend Michelle (who rocks in so many different ways) made a good point the other day: nauseous is a ridiculously hard word to type. Like many of the squiggly-line-in-Microsoft-Word-dependent generation, she says:I won't even use spell check to show you how far I've strayed from standardized use. Words with two "u"s always catch me off guard. Really—vacuum, usurp—cause great anxiety.Point of fact: In writing this post, I had to look up the spelling of nauseous. Twice.
