a quesiton for all of you who write/type a lot.
do you write words as you hear them? i don't mean typos, but your brain
telling your fingers that this is what the word 'sounds' like.
examples -
think instead of thing - but not the other way around.
hert instead of hertz - 'you typed a letter for that sound already'
chilren instead of children - if the tounge skips over the sound, so can
the fingers
forct instead of forced
etc
spelling mistakes and basic typos happen too, but even why i copy text i
consistently type the sound of some words instead of the actual word.
ziviya
typing is more relaxing than teaching
