Spelling a word out loud is an infrequent task for me. I have to simulate writing or typing it and then dictate the result of that simulation. I would characterize myself as adept at language. Choosing the appropriate words comes easily to me, and I don't think this skill is related to spelling bee performance.

My focus isn't so much on the spelling per se, but how much conscious thought 'comes along for the ride' while its being done.
