I do it all the time but I also add double words sometimes so I have to re-read my emails really closely every time. Not sure if it's an ADHD thing, but it does seem to match the way my mind races lol
All the time! I heard it’s your brain moving faster than your hands, the same with reading your eyes, move slower than your brain and you can skip words
It definitely feels like that’s the reason. I’m glad it’s not just me! I have to remember to take a breath and consciously slow down.
ALL OF THE TIME. Mostly when I’m on meds. My brain moves faster than I type. I’ve learned to proof proof proof emails
Yes, exactly! I have to proofread multiple times because often my brain is still moving faster than my eyes and I will unintentionally “read” it the way I think it’s supposed to be rather than how it is

If you frequently misspell the same words over and over (particularly if you misspell it to a different word), you can make a custom autocorrect entry in word.
Certain words I botch ALL THE TIME, so when I type them in, my autocorrect turns them bold/caps/red. It’s a nice little “did you mean to do that?”
As part of my proof process when I’m not in Word, I Ctrl+F my “problem words” and read the sentence they’re in to catch screwups.
What helps a lot for me is the following prompt to either Claude or gpt: "please correct the grammar and point out any unclear language in the following". If you ask to make minimal changes, it doesn't change your style too much.
