Is it normal to forget (for a few seconds) how to spell "character?
I am a 72 year-old male, work out vigorously, eat healthy. Tonight I forgot, for a few seconds, how to spell "character" and I'm an excellent speller. I've had normal aging glitches before, like forgetting names or not being sure which day something happened earlier in the week, but nothing like this. I left out the "h" and sort of panicked, and was then trying to put the "h" later in the word. Also, I think my brain was wanting to spell "caricature." I immediately took some on-line spelling and memory tests and did above average and superior on everything. Oh, I'd had one glass of wine with dinner a little earlier. Should I be worried?
