I just had a revelation about why I have such a difficulty spelling the word "revelation".
#if i have a problem with a word i try to sound it out#usually spellcheck will figure out what i'm trying to spell but sometimes it doesn't#i just had this with the word revelation#and thinking about it i realized i missed the v sound#the way i pronounce it has the v at the end of the first syllable — “rev”#but i say the word so quickly that it sorta glosses over the “v” at the end of the syllable#it's not silent just not very pronounced#so my brain thinks the first syllable is “re” and the second is a “la” sound#but the second syllable is actually the “ah” sound which I don't clearly pronounce either#so i end up trying to spell “revelation” by writing “rela” or “rele”#sometimes i remember that “e” appears twice in “revelation” so thats why i try the second one#but becuause I'm missing the “v” the spell check can't figure out the word i'm trying to spell#this is all in the tags because i think the sentence above by itself is funny
