Sometimes I type in homophones, and it's freaky and irksome.

For example, "We won the game." might come out "We one the game."

I might also type "I like hour new pet squid" when I was thinking "our".

Somehow I have also paired "team" and "time"; that is, I frequently type "time" when I mean "team". So, yeah, there is an i in team sometimes. A few minutes ago, I typed "had" where I meant "add".

The worst thing is, I don't know I've made the mistake unless I go back and read everything.

@emdeesee The one that gets me is using 'lead' when I mean 'led', because they would be homophones IF I WERE WRITING ABOUT THE SOFT DENSE METAL WITH THE ATOMIC NUMBER 82.

AND I'M NOT!

@emdeesee Much though I enjoy English and its vocabulary, the orthography leaves perhaps a little to be desired...Oh well, can't have it all.
