Not an issue, but typing it is a different matter!!

Not an issue for me either but my old mum's life was ruled by such things

Well, now I've learnt two new words...just have to practice spelling them now.

Another for you, Diane

Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia- Fear of the number 666.

Good grief There goes the weekend. Never knew there were so many long words......

We never learnt all those at school!

Which amazes me as my english teacher was a sadist and i was the worlds worst speller .... She was always coming up with words I have never had to use in my entire adult life

Never mind spelling them just try saying them out loud takes time.

Anybody like me who deliberately walks under ladders and tries adventurous things on a Friday 13th?

Dear Monika, that's exactly what i do.....

Try using your company van's fuel pump token instead of your computer centre burglar alarm token.

As the author of the how to get in & out of the building instructions I did just that today and got thoroughly ribbed......

In Spain, it's Tuesday the 13th that is considered unlucky. If I remember correctly.

If you fly on most airlines, you won't get a seat on Row 13.

My dad was the only one who would use number 13 when he was in the navy and he survived so I guess it was lucky for him!

A lot of hotels wont have a floor 13 either .....which lead to some confusion one day a few years back
