I didn't use to do this but I started doing it 2-3 months ago. I was beginning to think that maybe as I am typing fast I forget to press the keys strong enough to write sometimes and thus words are being omited. Now I realize it happens to other people too, maybe our hands are not as fast as our brains or vice versa and the brain doesn't have enough time to dictate all the movements to the hands or something along those lines...

This is perhaps just my mind going too quick for my hands, but when writing/typing I often skip words entirely. For example: -

A sentence like "What terrible weather we are having today" in my mind can turn out as "What weather we having today"

I often do not notice this until I slowly re-read said sentence.

Perhaps it is a normal NT thing as I kind of get eager to get things done quickly, if that makes any scence.

Do anyone else skip words when writing?


I do this when I don't get enough sleep and when I have other things on my mind. I would suggest that more sleep would be enough, or perhaps just better sleep.

I have just done this. Instead of writing "I have just entered a half marathon", I wrote "I have just entered a marathon." :oops:

I also mix words up. Had a conversation last year with dad and said something about a turkey in earthquake. :lol:

I do it all the time except I can skip half the sentence lol. Mostly I need more sleep. I always doublecheck for punctuality due to this.
