1. Spelling, grammar, punctuation, syntax, usage, etc. (Heaven knows I didn't become a copyeditor for the big bucks.)
2. Learning foreign languages, including getting the accent right
3. Crossword puzzles, acrostics, Scrabble, Boggle, etc.
4. Cooking
5. Getting and staying organized
6. Remembering
7. Figuring out most electronic and computerized gadgets
8. Researching stuff on the Web (purchases, health issues, travel destinations, you name it)
9. Math
10. Shopping (I'm not being tongue-in-cheek here; I'm very good at knowing where to buy things, where to get good deals, etc.)
I tried desperately to think of something I'm good at that doesn't clinch my bid for biggest nerd in the world, but to no avail. Sigh.
NERD!!!

I'm right there with you on 1-4.
Throw in 7 and 9 too. As for the others, you're on your own, kid.
