There are many different things that I notice about the way I spell. Sometimes I spell words completely backwards correctly, leave letters out of words or just leave the words out. I think this happens because my brain is wired and moves fast than my fingers/hands.
When I am under pressure, it happens more frequently.
Here is some examples of what I am talking about.
I went to th store yesterday and forgot to yub what I fro.
(I went to the store yesterday and forgot to buy what I went for)
I don't usually see all of these in the same sentence. I see letters and words left out more than the other errors.
