Where you look a word for so long that it just looks... wrong and you're unsure if that's the actual spelling, even for stupid little words?

Or one of those moments where you're about to type some everyday word and your mind just goes blank about how it's spelt?

I've had both of those today, I think my brain is dying. Waaah.

yeah it's so weird. It's like all the sudden I'm looking at a foreign word and the letters look so alien.

It sometimes happens to me too, or at least it used to. I'd just stop and look at certain words, and just think the way the letters looked in that particular combination, or the way it was pronounced, was just really stupid.

yup, word like maybe "does" or "between" or "which" (maybe not those in particular, but of that simplicity).

sometimes simple words will seem weird to me and I stop before I use them, even simple ones...

exactly, all of a sudden, the spelling or use of it became bizarre for some reason...

That happend to me for the word "who"... I kept on saying "woah?" when ever I read it. Then I consulted a dictionary, there it was, "who" spelled "who"... As I type this I think to myself "why the fuck is who spelled "who?" Ugh.
