Dear Diary... I can spill!

It's taken me just shy of 52 years, but today I wrote the word 'yacht' down cor’ without spell checking or assistance.

I just wrote it down as part of the sentence I was working on and then realised what I had done afterwards. Pfft!

To put this achievement in context. I've always had a mental block with this word - spelling it 'yaught'.

My long-time mate Steve has known since High School of my challenges with this word, and, as a true friend, stirs the shit out of me about it. I texted him about my achievement tonight, and he replied, asking if I was really trying to spell yogurt.
