Why do we sometimes say a word or look at a word so many times that it sounds foreign/doesn’t look like a real word?

Question

I hope this makes sense

Like when you’re taking notes and you write a word and it just doesn’t seem spelled correctly no matter what or it just seems strange, or when you say a word and it feels weird coming out and you have difficulty comprehending that it’s an actual word.

Answer 1

Because it becomes repetitive so the mind disassociates with the subconscious content related to the word.

Take hearing a foreign language for instance, the first time you hear Konichiwa it sounds really weird, but by the 10,000th it feels comfortable.
