    Ever look at a word and after a while it looks like it shouldn't be spelled that way?

    Yes, also if you say a word many times it starts to sound weird.

    Write down any word 100 times and it will start to look strange.

    Yes. The word weird. Especially since it breaks the "i" before "e" rule so it makes itself very.. weird... How weird. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
