Self Parsing

Believe. Receive. Explanation. Presence. Belief.

These are words I constantly misspell. I need to find a system that allows me not to look as stupid as these mistakes make me seem. So, Mr. CIA agent there's your formula if you want to forge me.

Spell 'em in your head - like this:

"receive" in your head is "re-see-eye-vee"

Works for every tricky word, you just have to pick out the part of the word you always screw up, and make that the part you say in your head. Personally, I have no problem with "receive" or similar words because I watched that "Peanuts" special waaaay back when with Charlie Brown at the spelling bee (amazing what sticks in your head, huh?).

My words are like "physician" which goes into the brain as "pee-h's-eye canian"

I have not read one thing from you that makes you look stupid.

You see, "i" before "e" except after "c", you see.

I would explain "explanation" but the explanation would be hard to explain.

Your presence does not need presents unless your presence wants presents. In that case others might want to give your presence presents.

I believe your belief is something your belief requires you to believe. I believe you when you write about any belief you believe you write about.
