Does it bother anyone else...

... that blogspot looks like blogpost, just with extra typo?

Every time I type a URL that ends in .blogspot.com, I have to squint at it until my eyes go all funny, because I'm always convinced I've spelled it wrong.

well i guess i don't bother to squint, i just turn it into whatever word i feel like. i read both blogspot and blogpost in that first sentence as blogSPOT so for a while i was confused by this whole post.

after a few re-readings though, am straightened out. am starting to think this tendency of my brain to just convert one word into another word that 'makes more sense' to my weird head might be the cause of all those "careless mistakes" i used to get warned about when i made a bad grade on a test.

And do you know how hard it is to be sure that you've typed "westprocrastination" correctly? Seriously. My eyes get bored midway through and I hope for the best.

Betty, that's exactly my problem. I can never be sure if my eyes haven't "corrected" it one way or the other, so it's hard to read what's really there.

Q of WP: I love that description: "my eyes get bored midway through". I know EXACTLY what you mean!
