    i find that after i say a word repeatedly it loses all meaning. like costume or banana. but some are just instantly strange and feel unnatural to say or type. what do you think those are?

    i think awkward looks terribly awkward to type. i always feel like i'm spelling it wrong. and fog. squiggle is weird too.

    also the term "it looks pretty quiet over there" makes no sense to me. how can something look quiet?

    i've never heard that term...

    heh... BUT, maybe it means, it looks peaceful or like not much is going on:p

    I cant think of a particular word that feels weird to type, but I have always found silent consenants to be a bit of a mystery. Take knife for instance, who decided that the 'k' needed to be there? I think they should be stabbed:p

    me and my roomate will actually sit for hours and say weird ass words like a million times till they make no sense, or you can't even say it anymore. Words are so weird. Restraunt is a weird one to say...and type too...i dont even know if i spelled it right cuz its turning weird on me lol....same with wrinkled...say wrinkled 10 times and make sure you over pronounce it.....your tongue gets so confused after lol....man i have too much time on my hands sometimes.

    I know what you mean. Say "fork" over and over again. It makes no sense. I wish I knew why that happens. If you stare at a word long enough it just looks ridiculous.

    This may be strange, but to me, saying the worked "asked" feels weird.

    Wanna hear a funny story?

    I can't stand it when people say "It's small potatoes," because this one time in class my teacher said "It's small potatoes..." and right after he said it this kid goes, "...Make the meat look larger." Now I laugh everytime I hear someone say that. I also think "ointment" is a weird word...and "world", it's kind of hard to say. Yep...words are weird (and so is the spelling of "weird")
