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.

typing is more relaxing than teaching
