You will have a problem if you're not doing a good job of interpreting the rules. You will do awesome as an official if you do a great job of interrupting them.

Don't worry kiddo, don't let the humorous ones on the board get to you about your spelling errors. Just read the book, and throw some questions at yourself, and become a student of the game. You'll get there. We've all been where you are at now.
