This word is such a mystery to me- you have to look twice before you read it aloud.  I always trip over the b, so I have to think about it before I say it, and that perfectly describes the allure of the word.  The spelling is not what you’d expect; neither is the pronounciation. Subtle’s spelling mirrors its meaning, “difficult to detect or grasp by the mind,” and that’s fascinating to me.
