Reading words incorrectly

[chrisb]

I blame the computer spell cheque. Its easier and avoids the self blame which is such a component of our condition.

I read and read it over after I've finished and still miss mistakes.

Once I write something I know what it says, so rereading is just going to confirm what I already know. Even a critical hippo wouldn't make any difference.

I blame the computer spell cheque.

That causes a lot of my problems.

I often read words incorrectly.

I do this all the time.

I usually realize I've misinterpreted something

It often takes me longer than it should to realise.

Yes, I often read words incorrectly. I don't think it was that common in the first 20 years, but became common more recently.

I do/am not.

People are writing what I think they are saying, what they clearly are saying, they are writing it down incorrectly, and in many cases incoherently.

As what they write isn't right, and makes no sense.

That's the first 20 years of ME, in case it wasn't clear.

Interesting I was looking at the very simple diagram about Ron Davis plasma swap and I looked at it a couple of times and just couldn’t read it properly I kept misreading it so that it seemed not to show any issue with plasma. So I wrote it out on a piece of paper from scratch the four options and when there was no effect and when there was an effect and only by doing that I could see it......

I have trouble writing now. I don't know whether it's a visual or physical problem, or concentration problem, or maybe lack of practice? My writing used to be excellent - I won an award for it at school!

Me too, I've only noticed it recently. I've always been meticulous about spelling, but recently I've found that after writing a post and reading it over one last time, I find things like "here" instead of "hear" etc. I think it's getting worse. I spelt a word with a "y" instead of an "i" a couple of days ago. Wish I could remember what it was.

EDIT: it was hypocrytical. I mean hippocritical.

me too, i find it's getting worse & i often say the wrong version of their/there. It drives me crazy because i am real stickler for such things & pre illness i just would never, never say you're if i meant your, i mean it just wouldnt happen no matter how tired (or drunk! lol)
But know i read the wrong word, say the wrong word, spell the right word wrong it's a ruddy smorgasbord of errors & it drives me crazy. If you'd seen me writing this you'd laygh at the errors (I left the final one in for illustration).

And the times i misread posts & start replying but it's only when i see the words again the the quote that i realise i misread... ugh stupid brain.
