Ann, I hope you don't take offense, but I had to chuckle as I read your post, because of the way you spelled urge and aside, in the context of spelling. Your spelling is perfectly logical from the sounds. I'm a visual person, too, I mean mentally. In studying a foreign language, I have to see the word, not just hear it. I can't comprehend well when I just hear--in reading, too. My husband comprehends what's on the page or in the paper better when he hears it; my mind doesn't absorb well what's being read to me; I have to read it myself. Fortunately, this wasn't such a great problem that I had trouble in school, but I know from working as a volunteer in school with children with learning disabilities that it can be--either not "getting: what they hear and having to see it, or vice versa.
