Took a hiatus from lemmy to hang around Bluesky. When I left here I was typing errors into every post. Some were typical, like not making a noun plural, some were scary, like using the completely wrong word. Think: “bat” when I meant “car”. Some were worse but I can’t remember any.
Having mental problems over the past couple of years and noticing this scared the crap out of me, especially as it seemed to get progressively worse. When I went to BS (heh), the problems all but disappeared. Came back here, problems followed.
Is my brain perhaps struggling with the font? Another interesting note: old.lemmy.world is far worse for me than the newer version. Can I permanently change the font for an entire site? I’m sure it’s doable, but I could use best-practice advice.
(Not seeing errors on this post, but if there are any I’m leaving them.)
I’m guessing there’s more extreme errors than this example, but for “bat” and “car”, “b” is two keys to the right from “c” and “t” is one letter to the right from “r”, so that one seems plausible to typo.
Hah! I look for that exact sort of mistake! Read a mystery novel as a kid where Sherlock (or whoever) figured something bout because B and N are next to each other on a typewriter.
No, I’m afraid it’s worse. I’ll have the noun in my head and write something totally unrelated. It must be something with the font fucking with me. Somehow? I hate speculating without the slightest guess as to mechanism, but suddenly I’m fine on “new” lemmy, but I’m back to screwing up on old.lemmy.
