N_w...

You have Gemini Rising, right? That could be it. Having the Sun and Merc both in Gemini myself, I am the same way. I can be reading a book and will notice grammar/spelling/punctuation errors without trying. I had to laugh at your reference to IM's. Me too.

-----> finger pointed at me cuz my spell check broke and punctuation ? Depends on my mood. A little today or a lot tomorrow. Depends on which is in control. Is my Virgo nitpicky today or am I going with the Aquarian 'oh well' flow.

(did I spell nitpicky right )

NW, do you have any Sag in your chart? Saggies are also known for journalism and being natural editors. Even though we may have a tendency to go on and on and on...lol and our spelling can be improved.

I also have Mercury in Capricorn, which may make me a bit more deliberate. What about you?

I have a Virgo rising and Pluto's in Virgo as well.

this is too cool....i'm a sag and i'm the best speller i know. i don't even use spell check. if i'm uncertain, i will go to the dictionary. it's terrible...i will not allow myself to spell any word incorrectly...i'm obsessed...i've turned down dates with great fellows because they couldn't spell worth a shite...now, is this a trait or a dysfunction? i also correspond with another sag, and we're terrible for using ellipsis...does anyone have any scientific findings on that one?

Hey NW... we do share some things in common. I'll bet that kind of scares you. LOL...just kidding!!

Silverstar,

First off, I had to look up ellipsis....hee hee. I use them ALL THE TIME!! I just never knew their real name. LOL

Yeah, i read it with ease also.

Is very interesting to me that our brains really just see first and last letters. Certainly was an excellent exercise in proving same.

Good one
