When I was a kid, I routinely got 100% on spelling exams because 1) I read a ton from an early age and had a large vocabulary; 2) mis-spelled words jump out at me. I can't not see them. So I was really pissed when I got dinged for mis-spelling "grey". My argument to the teacher was "That's how Gandalf spells it!"
