I am a horrible speller and it is due to my good memory. If you asked me to sound out a word to spell it I could not do it. Every word I know how to spell is from my memory.

All my spelling test growing up I passed by memory but never learned syllables (I couldn't even spell this word i had to look it up on Google). Right before a test I would take a sharpie and write every word down on a piece of paper really bold then stare at it for like 5 or so minutes. Then when it came test time I would close my eyes or go to my minds eye and see the word written then right it down. That is how I do numbers as well I can see them in my mind if I have worked on a spreadsheet long enough; I have at times even quoted the number and cell it sits in.

My memory drives my wife crazy because if she changes something even small in our house I can see that it is different immediately.
