I remember that i did not used to make typos but since a particular period that i vaguely rememebr i have noticed that i make more and more of them. It was some kind of switch, not a long period that the transition took place in. I could not pinpoint the reason behind it but my theory is that my speed of typing increased and with it the amount of incidence of hitting the wrong keys. I think it started primarily when my right digits hit faster than my left ones, so letters get switched. It might be neurological or i picked up some trait from some exercises related to reflexes(martial arts), hard to say but all i could recommend is typing slower or trying to write with the style of never taking your hands off the keyboard and typing with all 10 fingers instead of just few, like most of us do. Hard to switch to this style without actual desire to do so, but it is a solution.

I have also switched to mechanical keyboard because i have noticed that i was missing letters despite feeling that i hit the keys. So having more sensitive keyboard helped to mitigate quite a bit of typos. I have the brown tactile switches but i think i would go for the more sensitive red ones in the future to decrease the key travel distance for key press detection.

BTW dyslexia is more about reading rather than writing and it concerns only languages that are not phonetic.

That "rememebr" has great comedic timing :D .. but as far as I can see it's the only typo too.

I've read that aging doesn't happen in a constant rate but at some ages it accelerates. I pride myself of having a high IQ but as I get older I notice the cognitive decline. I'm not being an elitist, but it makes me wonder if the way I feel now is what people with "slower" brains feel like all the time (I've only known what it feels like inside my own brain, obviously)

Haha, good catch. I do not think that typing should fall under ageing though. And that period which I mentioned was in my early 20s, maybe even late teens. So it's not like it got worse when I hit 50(which is still far far away). I attribute it to faster typing. More speed but also more mistakes. And it is predominantly the out-of-order hit of right finder before left finger.

Dyslexia affects both reading and writing. It's an inherited difference in brain connection structure that can cause difficulty in associating the phonemes or sounds with letters and letter combinations. It provides advantages in three dimensional visualization and enables athletes to be ambidextrous.
