Soror, ME TOO! I always have to catch myself on this. "i" before "e", except after "c" ...

I also seem to have a mental block when it comes to 'attached' because I normally write 'attatched' and 'personnel' when I write 'personell'. DUH!

I normally am a good speller and I recognize that people have mental blocks, BUT it irks me to no end when people don't PROOFREAD!
