I used to be excellent at spelling. If I was reading something a misspelled word would almost leap off the page. My colleagues at work would ask me how to spell words if unsure ( pre internet etc ). I would close my eyes and look up and " see " the word as written. That's no longer the case as the years have taken their toll.

How about longer words such as Sesquipedalophobia?

I don’t actually care any more. Quite happy to disappear.

I had forgotten. It's the cycle club Awards Night this evening. It isn't high on my agenda but I feel I should go. We've agreed the table seating arrangements. This is because four of us don't want to discuss sprockets, chain rings and dI2 all night!! 🤣
