Probably they’re swiping on a phone keyboard and autocorrect fucked them, or they’re using text to speech and the diction fucked up and they didn’t proofread it.
Comment on I was there...
MrQuallzin@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoLegitimate question, why do people keep typing “where” instead of “were”? Many typos are understandable where letters that are next to each other accidentally get swapped, but you have to go out of your way to put the h in there.

If type like sound in head, where and were same. And type learned enough not think about every letter.

I can’t speak for others, and I’m not sure I ever make that particular typo (espec swipe typing on phone), but I’ve noticed that I sometimes make typos that don’t particularly make sense to me… I’ll write a similar word that I would never actually confuse with the word I wanted…is not a homophone, is not a letter adjacency typo. I think the brain just works differently than we expect sometimes…
