funny you mention this.
one of my early english teachers used this as a classic example of spelling out by phonetically sounding out the word.
she did state it did not always work but was generally correct.

My wrongly spelt word is Search. I know how to spell it of course, it's just that my keyboard fingers seem just do serach. This is possibly unique to me, if you do a search on here for serach you will mostly find either my posts or posts quoting mine. My fingers just have to go to the r before the a even though my brain knows otherwise.

I think they call that wandering finger syndrome

I often type xe into my search bar to autofill the url for xenforo but press enter/ok before it's populated. Next thing I know I'm googling XE and end up on a currency exchange website!

The other words are filed for field and form for from (that seems to be a very common one.
