Nondescript brain error

February 28th, 2008 at 9:51 am (Literature)

Whenever I try to write something I’m reminded of some various lexical issues my brain has. For instance I have always had an issue with spelling some words that have double letters in them…or sometimes putting double letters where they don’t belong. Just something my brain does from time to time…no biggie overall. The big nuisance (I just tried to spell that as nuissance by way of example) of it is that it is usually the same words over and over. I can’t seem to correct it.

I bring this up because there’s one of these things that really drives me crazy. I know how the word is spelled, but for some reason when I type it my hands inject an extra T. The word? Fantasy. For some reason it usually types out as Fantasty. Fan-tasty. What the fuck is with that?

Come to think of it I think I have an answer: Boris Vallejo,  Louis Royo, et al. Their book covers were definitely a case of Fan-Tasty!

Or, for that matter, Joe Jusko:

All of a sudden I want to go buy some more fantasy books. :)

One of my favorite blogs is The Secular Outpost, given to us by Taner Edis. In one of his latest entries he put together a Devil’s Dictionary of academic disciplines. I thought it all quite funny, especially this one:

Political science: If “science” appears in the name of a discipline, this is very often because it is not a science.
