Spell m...a...s...t...U...r

  1. I have dyslexia so sometimes spelling some words correctly can be a challenge but one trick I learn from one of my writing courses if you have trouble spelling a word break it up into words within the word.

    So with masturbation, you could do mast|ur|bat|i|on.

  3. I find this particularly helpful with "muesli" (mu-es-li) and meringue (meh-ring-gwe). Curiously, "meringue" is pronounced "merang", whereas "merengue" is pronounced "me-reng-gwe". English is such a weird language!

    Your example may make more sense to you

    But the syllable breaks are: mas|tur|ba|tion

    (the letters in italics indicate the syllable that is stressed in pronunciation)

  5. That's true. For me, it's finding words that help me spell it.

    Sounds like you're playing with a Cockney accent.
     
  7. If you ministerbait in the middle of the woods and no one's around to hear it, where do you catch the forest fungus?
