I was doing a role-play with my friend online and he typed the word “Dies” and the way the word looked kinda creeped me out.

Only when die hard fright wing Republicans say them.
Yes, diarrhoea!
I shit myself each time I spell it.
I always thought mnemonic looked a bit creepy, but I can’t remember why.
@seawulf575 Probably because it has some of the same spelling as demonic.
MAGA, because idiots scare me.
@ucme That’s cuz you guys spell it wrong :p
Im not a fan of words beginning with ‘K’. I see it as an evil letter.
For example, if there’s a name that can be spelled with either a K or a C, I’d always chose the C version.
No I don’t personally but some people suffer from a fear of words. This is a well documented phobia.
Logophobia is the technical name for fear of words but there are two names for the phobia of fearing long words. These are:
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia and Sesquipedalophobia.
Very ironic really because Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia is one of the longest words in the dictionary and its meaning is a fear of long words.
