Or maybe my mind. Moments after I uploaded the last post, I checked it out online to make sure it posted correctly. The first thing I noticed? In the very first paragraph, I wrote about the flours I had purchased for my balcony last summer. That's right...English-teaching, grammar-loving, spell-checking me wrote "flours" in place of "flowers."
I've never bought flours. I pretty much stick to your plain-old white flour. I'm not even sure that you can get all of those fancy-shmantzy flours here, and certainly not on my grocery budget!
Don't bother looking for it now...it's already been corrected - I'm not dead! But I am noticing more and more often that I type the wrong word or type a misspelled word...gasp! Me...never-studied-for-a-spelling-test-in-my-life me. I'd heard that learning a second language can be detrimental to your use of the 1st language. Now I know. It's true. And just in case I wasn't convinced, I actually typed half of one of these sentences in Romanian before I realized what I was doing. I am really and truly losing my mind (at least the part that had a decent grasp on the English language).
