What does it mean when you feel dizzy?

I feel perfectly fine. I don't feel nauseated or weak or anything strange like that. I've eaten. I've had two big glasses of water and some coffee and juice, haven't taken any drugs of any sort, but I still can't quite see straight. I can't find it in myself to be alarmed, because it doesn't feel serious or anything, it's just pissing me off. How do you get rid of dizziness?

For some reason, I've gotten a common grammar fault stuck in my head recently, and it's beginning to bug the piss out of me. I keep making it, too. I think I've done it five or six times in the past few weeks. I feel it fall out of my mouth just as it's too late to switch words in the hopes of making myself sound less dumb.

It's just funny. I really don't care when other people do this. I hear it, and it sounds marked, but it's common enough that I don't even bother internally bristling. Hooray for variation! But hearing it in my own speech... rrrrrh. And then I size up the people I'm talking to: did they notice how dumb I sound? rrrrrrh! It's like thinking you're fat, only stupider.

No, I won't tell you what it is. And yes, I'm sure I make all sorts of juicy mistakes all the time, anyway. (fishfoo...)
