I’ve noticed when I’m studying (currently in year 3 of a 4 year degree) I’ll start making silly mistakes. It’s always happened since I was at school and it’s getting annoying now! I remember as a kid my teacher would circle all the mistakes a made towards the end of a paper and they were always really embarrassing.
I’ll start to misspell every word when I’m writing or typing, and I don’t mean things like your/you’re or to/two/too or difficult words to spell, I mean I’ll start misspelling easy words by missing out random letters. So I could be writing the word ‘easy’ and I’ll forget the s. Or I might write the word apple and put 2 b’s instead of p’s. Sometimes I notice the mistake straight away but sometimes I don’t and when I read my writing back it’s absolute garbage. Or I’ll put the wrong letter altogether, like instead of carrot I’ll put karrot or carrod. It’s not really misspelling I suppose it’s more like missing letters/parts of the word. Or sometimes I’ll start halfway through a word so instead of covid I would think covid in my head but put vid.
I know im tired like most students but my friends said this doesn’t happen to them. I don’t feel physically tired although I notice it happens when im studying for a while so maybe it is subconscious tiredness but it’s really annoying now, does anyone know how to stop this? Slowing down my writing and typing hasn’t helped so far. Thanks :)
