Impulse

I used to look down upon those who could not dis­cern the dif­fer­ence between “they’re”, “there”, and “their”. Now I’m one of them. I find that my spelling is get­ting more and more pho­netic. I just wrote “they’res” instead of “theirs”. Earlier I wrote “ov” instead of “of”. I’ll stare at these mis­takes know­ing that they’re wrong, but not able to fig­ure out why.
A few weeks ago I heard that the rapid frontal-lobe expan­sion that takes place in the late-teens and twen­ties stops in your mid thir­ties. Case closed; old age here I.…. uumm… What was I talk­ing about?
