Either I have dyslexia, or that's how everyone's brain works. Sometimes when I'm reading out loud, I'll completely make up words that are not on the page.


I imagine like most of these things it is a spectrum. Most people probably just ignored unless it happens enough to start causing problems.

EDIT: There is an example right there. "Ignored" instead of "ignore it", smashing two words together that are somewhat phonetically close.


and when I read it, I read "ignored it" instead of "ignored" lol
