"I'm agnostic"
For years I've always had in my head that my condition of not being able to smell very well made me "agnotstic." I sorta knew that that wasn't quite right. I finally looked it up today. I am definitely not "a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (as God) is unknown and probably unknowable." The word I was thinking of is really "anosmia." But anosmia still isn't the right word. Anosmia is a complete lack of smell. I am able to smell some things. The correct word is hyposmia, which is a decrease in the sensitivity of smell. I'm glad that's all cleared up.
