I just have been writing an e-mail to a business partner in England. And again something strange happened (not for the first time).

I wanted to type "a few" but my fingers ended up with typing " a view".

I know the difference between the 2 words (and yes I know the v at the beginning should sound different from the f, but as a German for me this is a little difficult).

Moreover when using hand writing this would never happen to me. It seems as if the fingers on the keyboard react directly to the "sound", ignoring the meaning.

There are a couple of more words. like wood / would, two / to

Anyone ever had the same problem? Is there a scientific name for it

Thanks for some insights
Andre
