especially here on DU.

One problem is that I frequently rearrange my sentences as I type.

The other problem is that I have brain fog from the lovely Fibro and that brain fog never goes away. It feels like I'm chronically stoned. I only have so many "spoons" that I start out with in a day anyway. Once those spoons start being spent, my brain function really starts dropping.

I could read what I type over and over. I could read what others type over and over. I'd never really "spot the typo". I'd make a terrible editor.

It doesn't even bother me anymore. It's integrated into my life.

And no, I never saw the extra repeats.
