It may be a problem only unique to me, but I've recently been experiencing an annoying habit in my typing where I type similar Starcraft vocabulary into normal English vocabulary. Just today, I was writing an essay for English class, and instead of writing "despite," (damn, I did it again T_T) I wrote despire. I also was talking about a savior for a character in a book, but I ended up writing savior as 마재윤's ID, sAviOr.

Does this problem happen to you? This has been occurring more and more often. And I'm not even a Zerg player T_T

I think it's happened to me 2-3 times in the last week, when I was talking on bnet and used some sc terms intead of the actual normal words

Cant seem to remember what they were though...

lol, it has happened to me a few random times, but not that often;o

I would assume it would be much worse for a sc fan living in Korea;o

No, but i have a tendency to apply starcraft to everyday situations for no reason.

There are at least 2 people in every one of my classes at school know about SC progaming and at least 1 or 2 progamer's ID. And they dont play SC. They even know what APM and such mean, lol.

No never had this happen in a paper or anything.

Though Dronebabo, I have my friends using 'GG' as well. At first they said, "wtf is GG" and when I explained it they didn't understand. So eventually I showed them the end of an old vod, and then they were ALL about GG!

NO FUCKING WAY - I DO THAT

EDIT: For example, I see a motorcycle when I'm riding the bus to school. And I'm like, "Fuck, that guy should just lay a Spider Mine and everybody on the bus would die."

EDIT2: I just misspelled again, WTF. And I have no idea where it came from T_T I wrote "Vulture" instead of "variety," I have no idea where that came from! Seriously!

I don't even understand how you could do that. I misread words a lot because of consistently using similar words, or I'll skip over words because I'm reading them too fast, but I can't recall a single instance where I wrote the wrong word.
