i just use words that i like (:

for example 'stultify' this conversation is not as stultifying as some
i've had (:

not that i am saying that about *this* list, o no, that would
unconscionable.

as for spelling - it's too hard to keep my fingers in order. and i
dyslexically read things, anyway. most of the time iam getting it right,
but i can spell outloud.   it's all about symmetry.  the name eigenschink
is easier to spell for me than vogel. there's more rhythm to the first
one.
