Oops. I meant 'word'.
This has been happening to me with increasing frequency. My mind tells my fingers to write one word, but instead they end up typing a completely different one! It's not a typo. It's like my brains and hand are disconnected.
Today, I was writing an email in which I meant to write 'looking out my window'... it ended up as 'looking out my winter'.
Is this just me? Do I have wrong-word-itis? Is my hand struggling for power against my mind? And is there a cure?
(Oh - happy May Day!)

Ugh- I do this, too. More than I'd like to admit. I blame it on the typo gremlin (Fred) who lives somewhere between my keyboard and the screen.
Happy May Day!
I've been doing that more and more recently. I think I'm trying to type too fast.
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one doing this!
I frequently type "Christ" when I mean "Chris". (Probably because I swear more than I write to my brother Christopher. -- but this leads to some awkward moments.)
Also: "studio" when I mean "stupid".
Also: "forum" when I mean "form".
I can type faster than I can think.
