8. Terrible speller so for many words I make up

those memory sentences we used as kids, like I Eat Green Caterpillars to remember Io, Europa, Ganymede, Calisto.

One from maybe 4th grade was "Look at nothing good u and good Eddie." Obviously don't need to make sense to help me remember.

Also like being able to blame autocorrect which I call autocorrupt. Used to be good at terrible handwriting to mask my misspelling.

One of my favorite bosses was so good, when I'd ask him how to spell a word, he'd only say the part I was struggling with.
