That happens to me. If I just keep looking at or thinking of a word over and over it eventually makes no sense.

yes, because by doing this, there occurs a separation between the word you're reading and its actual meaning. :tongue2:

mushrooms do something wierd to me with laguage...i start to overanalyze the words and figure out the origins and whatnot.

Mushrooms always make me think of weird words that I'm not sure even exist, like justibles or oynge (like orange). Those two come up almost every time i trip. Don't ask me to make sense of it.

"I before E ecxept after C" is the stupidest thing they teach us in english. We quoted two seperate examples of common words that do not hold up to that rule!
Height
Weird

Yeah it does happen. The words which every now and then seems strange to me are usually simple words like dwell and bubble.

It happens to me a lot too. I thought I was just having a brain fart.... :crazy:

There's lots; from alt.usage.english's FAQ, an excerpt of the "I before E" thing.

English makes it easy for words to appear "weird" or mispell (it's misspell, and they both look weird if you ask me).

No, you put words in my mouth. I did not disinclude any other language, I just put forth a reason as to why it might be so with English. :smile:
