Bingo...I was originally taught to read and wright phoenetically. That completely messed me up for spelling. I read at well above what level I should be but spelling is a nightmare. To give you an example of the phoenetical system:
Nif (there would be a hard bar over the I instead of the dot) = knife
It uses symbols over the letters like what is seen here but I was taught more symbols than this shows:

So...I change schools and they are using normal spelling and it was like seeing a foreign language. I couldn't read anything. I had to start from scratch. Going from minimal letters in a word to all these extra letters my mind now thinks everything should have extra letters thrown in and even spell correct often cannot figure out what I am trying to type.
I often joke that if the liberals can blame guns for violence then I can blame the keyboard for my misspellings but the truth is the public school system is responsible for me being unable to spell.

(you can easily replace "pro gunners" with Republicans/conservatives/libertarians and "anti-gunners" with Democrats/progressives/leftists and it still works).
