Once I took a closer look at the name for my blog site, I realized that I cannot spell oxymoron.
Spell checking programs can, but when I am typing things into a small block on a web site without any spaces or punctuation, I am susceptible to making a think-o.
Yes, I did mean to type "think-o" my virtual audience members. A type-o in my book is when you hit the wrong key. I was not reaching with my right hand for the "y" key and mistakenly hit the "i" key.
Sure, they only have one key in between them, and they often make the same sound when pronounced, but I pride myself on being a pretty good speller.
[I also have a fairly accurate "smeller," which is why I decline to put my nose near anything when my husband starts the query with, "do you think this is still okay to eat...."]
I will close out this blog with commenting that maybe an OXI-MORON has something to do with acting like a spelling moron when you haven't provided enough oxygen to your brain.... Nope, spelling doesn't match with that either, but perhaps I have been putting too much OXI-CLEAN in my laundry lately.
