You know how sometimes when you say a word over and over and over in your head..

it stops sounding like a word? Like you lead yourself to believe that its not a real word for a second? I'm wondering if anyone knows why this happens as its a pretty unreal experience.

Well, happened to me today when I was in Physics with the word 'spectrum', I was literally thinking to myself, "Did I spell this right?".

I thought I was the only one!

I hate it so much when that happens.

clothe, i dont even know if i spell it right anymore, it got dull cause i reaped it so many times in my us history class

Yes! YES! YES!!!

It used to happen to me a lot a few years ago.

Although I would describe it as the word losing its meaning in my head. I could only listen to the sound it makes but the object of reference was not connected.

At that point I guess, due to the redundant repetition of it, the lexical type ceases to function as a substitute response, since its repetition is not evoked by a real stimulus but its just a repetition for no reason at all.

Ahem... 8)

But seriously, it did happen to me. It was funny/amusing/interesting.
