Like for me I am using the word "month" as a variable for this problem and for some reason the word is starting to lose it's meaning to me and actually looks wrong even though I know I spelled it right. It's just really strange.

I've had that happen a few times. I look at a word and all I can think is, "I know it's spelled right but the word looks absolutely wrong".

Rename to "four_weeks"

I'm always catching myself looking up the words in google real quick if this happens, and wonder why it's ever spelled like it is sometimes. XD
