Anyone else have a hard time with spelling this word? I've been modding maps for a while today, and every time I write it like 3 times before I get it right, and I've been involved with music since the 4th grade, I've seen this word thousands of times, yet the spelling is always wrong the first time I write it down. and I'm usually really good at spelling things - except for rhythm, its the one word I struggle with no longer how many times I use it.

TL;DR I have permanent Semantic satiation for the word rhythm.

Why am I still here? Idk tbh

English is not my first language, so every word with hard spelling is hard for me.

GD's probably a better place for this yea, rhyme doesn't usually give me any trouble, then again I don't have to write it quite as often.

I'm fairly good at spelling, as it was a second language in my country that I was from. But I can't seem to differentiate when and how to use "your" and "you're" properly. As I know for fact it makes a big difference.

well, if your trying to win an argument on youtube or reddit, then it matters if you're choice of your is correct, otherwise I haven't seen too many people complaining much.
yes that was on purpose

lul

Personally, I don't really find myself having trouble with this or the couple other examples mentioned here. Occasionally might stop to think for a second when trying to type up some complex word that popped up in my head but that's about it.

I always found it a bit confusing actually how much you can see these mistakes around, especially when it's people using their first language. Then again, not like native language really necessarily extends to writing I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Now semantic satiation on the other hand, that's interesting stuff

fun fact; "rhythms" is the longest english word that does not contain a vowel

English is my native language but I still have trouble spelling basic words. This is relatable.
