I pride myself on my memory, memorising, guessing games. I am quite accurate. I sit at the desk or the chair and I type away, I feel like I am getting to the point. There are crosswords and puzzles where words and memory are important and I enjoy them because of my skill.

The worst is trying to look for the right word, the one making it complete. It has a meaning to the heart and mind. (Perhaps not your soul, but that would be telling.) There is an uplifting and silly importance to my choice of words, and implications.

Sometimes I cannot remember a word, I shut off my mind and lie down. Sometimes it is an idiosyncrasy, sometimes an idiom. I begin to self loath and worry. I ask myself questions about the universe at this time, completely feeling like I have lost my creativity.
 
When I struggle to find a word, good old google/fire fox etc is my solution.
Half of the time spell check thinks I'm dyslexic (Not a joke nor making fun of the disorder, my typos are THAT bad) and gives me COMPLETELY wrong words.
So I have to resort to google fu which, often times it will recognize the word even with the wrong spelling.

Also for some reason Open Office doesn't include Matcha as one of it's native words, which, it's a freakin tea, lol

I do not pride myself on my memory. I can forget anything, and remember usually after I am already way late or missed it. I reason well, and am very good at cutting through the BS, but...I have gotten lazy as I got older. I dont savor the big puzzles as much anymore. And learning board games sometimes is a chore... it also does not help that my eyes have gotten bad and I can read a lot of whats written on the board, so...I just wing it.

In writing, I dont worry about finding the write word, cause I can always go back and insert it later.

In speaking, I find my brain simply cannot recall words as fast as I want to speak them, and make my speech manner a little halted, or sometimes completely stopped. Its annoying to not have a word you know you know ready speak as you need it. I get by, but it feels a little like a failing brain to me.

I often get hung up on saying the RIGHT word when talking quickly.

I'll know what I want to say, and I'll 'think' the right word when saying it, but sometimes I'll have to go through two/three 'similar' words to get the actual word out. I'm particularly bad with names like that if I've only met a person once or twice.

Happens sometimes online when chatting via text but not often. Though I have had some funny typos.
