Connect-I-cut. :P

 

I was thinking that as I typed it.

[mmeeshal]

It's the easiest way to remember the spelling.

 

The worst state ever for spelling is Massachusetts.  Because you can sound it out, but that doesn't tell you how many of each consonant you need. >.<

[Toy and Minion]

Have you tried the Mississippi trick on it? :P

[mmeeshal]

Nah, I don't really need to.

 

Spelling comes fairly easily to me.  I shouldn't be able to spell Marseilles, but I can.  Easily.

 

I only have to willingly and consciously commit something to memory ONCE to remember how to spell it.

 

Like, just now, I knowingly committed to memory that Massachusetts only has 4 "S's" in it, not 5. :P

 

I'll never misspell it again. ;)

[Toy and Minion]

That's rather vague, I think.  Mississippi only has four i's and four s's. 

[mmeeshal]

Well, for me, my problem was that my first instinct was to type "Massachussetts."  Which is wrong.  It's "Massachusetts." By saying there's 4 s's, it's a short way of reminding me not to add that extra s in there.

 

And I live near the Mississippi, grew up near it, so I've never NOT known how to spell it.

 

I love going "M-i-s-s-I-s-s-I-p-p-I."  (caps for emphasis :P)

 

Or, saying Sissimippi.

[Toy and Minion]

I like saying M-i-S-S-i-S-S-i-P-P-y

[mmeeshal]

You do need your Miss Sippy cup.

[Toy and Minion]

A y really just belongs there.

[mmeeshal]

Not if you don't want to insult the Native American language.

[mmeeshal]

Native American LanguageS, pardon me.

[Toy and Minion]

What does that have to do with y?

[mmeeshal]

English speaking people put "y's" on the end of words.

 

I'm pretty sure we're pretty rare in that regard. :P

 

Mississippi is not an English word.

Two nuns in a bath adn one says

 

"where's the soap"

 

and the other says

 

"yes it does, doesn't it"

[Toy and Minion]

I felt something brush my hair...

[mmeeshal]

Relax, it's just a spider-shaped spycam I rented from a mutual acquaintance.

[Toy and Minion]

Oh, I thought it was Talya's joke flying over my head.

[mmeeshal]

Psht, that's a lame excuse for a sentence.

 

:P

[Toy and Minion]

That's mean, meesh.  It's not its fault that its leg was decapitated in battle.

[mmeeshal]

It should've stayed at home and knitted socks.

[Toy and Minion]

Yeah, and let the enemy slaughter its family and friends.

[mmeeshal]

Depends on what the enemy was.  Or is.

[Talya]

If you say the joke in your head, it is a play on the word where/wear

 

I feel like the vicar of Dibley at the end of the show with Alice!

[el Nynaeve]

Lol, I miss vicar of dibley.

 

My favourite joke was the one about the accountant. ;D

[Talya]

LMAO...I liked that one too!
