Another Taurus trait. 
Also, anyone who finds what I am saying to be difficult... go live with a narcissistic slob for a decade. Or, in my case, two of them.
You will find the strength to change yourself then. Or you will become one of them. Since I know I would go insane just trying to be a slob (I was raised by a fastidious nurse so I just can't do it. Hell, I pick up little trash on the street. Not necessarily big things. Just a piece of paper blowing by. I fold up the wash rag after I use it. I wipe down the sink after I get some water!), I have to do what I can.
The 'missing words' thing is particularly tough for myself because I scored perfect on the English part of the SAT. I could have been an English major or the like, I suppose. (My personal favorite during 'placement' sessions was that I was very qualified for being an 'Air Traffic Controller'. Which is ironically funny considering all the time I spent in the tower while in the Civil Air Patrol as the 'radio guru'. I was not controlling traffic, but our comm station was usually in the tower. Maybe not on the top level, but usually near it.) I did pursue a career that involved these skills. One certainly needs to be decent at English if one wants to be a songwriter or an actor.
Thanks, Mother. I am not sure if your upbringing in this matter was a good thing, but it has had its benefits.
