Medically Speaking, What's "Write'Right" Called
I embarrassed myself here recently by writing "right" for "write." Please humor me by granting that I know the difference. Yet it did happen and I completely overlooked it in proofing and in subsequent replies by careful readers. Aside from "carelessness," is there a psychological or clinical term for this sort of thing?
Not that I'm worried all that much, mind you.
Good luck and good sailing.

It's a commonplace that it's difficult to proofread your own work because you glide right over the errors, as you did there. (

Dysgraphia = "impairment of the ability to write correctly"
If you're over 50
CRS = (can't remember ***)
If you've had a lengthy exposure to students under the age of 25 AADD = acquired attention deficit disorder
In most cases, the correct medical term = ooops.

Not really. I think we've all done the same sort of thing at one time or another. It's like seeing someone stub his toe: you know it hurts like **** but still you want to laugh.
