One thing I've noticed about my typos is that they are most commonly "phonetic" typos. For example, substituting "live" with "leave" or "hand" with "end". It's as if one part of my brain dictates what to type to another part of the brain which types out what it hears. It's also my internal experience, too (I experience both sides of the audio boundary, both saying and hearing what is being dictated)

I can absolutely relate to that, this is what most of my types boil down to too. I don't just want to say it's because "English spelling is stupid" because I do know how to spell (most) things properly. But it's definitely fascinating to see that my (and other people's) brain relies on the sounds associated with the word more than my "internal lexicon" of English spelling rules.
