My wife has the exact same “problem” as you do.
In her case it presents itself in two main different forms:
- she will use all the correct words but will swap the order of the key substantives of the phrase. For example: use the knife to hold the steak and cut with the fork.
- she will do the above but instead of using one substantive from the current “context” she will swap it with one from the previous or next context.
She is an ESL teacher and YouTuber so I’m not sure it has much to do with anything programming related. She does spend quite a bit of time in front of the computer, though.
Another interesting detail is that she speaks really fast most of the time. Maybe that’s related.
- cx42net 8y agoWow, I relate completely with what your wife is saying here! I do often mix words in a phrase or swap the context. And man, I speak fast (don't articulate much). My friends used to call me Buzz Lightyear because I was speaking at lightspeed ;)
