I know there's certian words that when I type them, they always end up wrong. The one I can think of is "actual". For some reason, when I type it, I always type "Actually" even when I'm saying "actual" in my head (yes, I speak the words I'm typing to myself in my head).

And it's not a case of using the wrong form of the word; I say, mean, and think I type "Actual"...but then when I look at the post afterwards, 9 times out of 10 it says "Actually".

It's very annoying and I don't know what triggers it, but for some reason I always type it wrong. There's a few other words... Like I always type "Amount" with 2 M's (Ammount) even though I do know how to spell it...it's like my fingers just think there should be two M's. Probably a conflict between learned language and learned repetative motion.
