Word blindness


I was eating my breakfast and musing over how I’ve become totally hooked on having brown sugar on my cornflakes. This unusual combination stemmed from having no white sugar in the house. Yes, I know, I’m a baker. It’s a case of cobbler’s children, right?
But I really have grown to love, and here’s the problem: Demerara on my morning cereal. Delicious!
I tried and tried to tweet this little nugget of nonsense, when I completely blanked. Every time I tried with my errant thumbs to get this little word into my Twitter ap,  it came up with a red wiggly line under it. What’s more, my iphone couldn’t even find a word close to what I wanted – DEMARERA , Demerera, Dem… no. I just couldn’t get it.  I mean, how can this possibly happen with so few letters to get wrong?

So who else will have these little moments? Or is it just me...
