    it could be ocd. if so you don't necessarily need to see a "psychiatrist" as stated in someone elses post. if it is ocd do whats right for you. i have ocd and use to do similar things. but not that. i'm not the best speller in the world anyways. Don%%u2019t let it become too bothersome or control your life. Whether its ocd or not you can fight the urge if you want and try to think about other things instead of doing that.

    Yes, it's called "OCD". See a psychiatrist, get a lollipop.

      lmao. I am pretty much the same way. I hate misspelling words. I constantly look them up to make sure I am using the word correctly. I also like to have nearly perfect grammar, especially for school.

      On the bright side this generally leads to good English grades.
