I wonder if it has to do with the suffix -tion. Maybe muscle memory is triggered when the letters “tio” are typed at the end of the word and “n” is automatically added to the end of the word.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoI suspect this. Also note that spell checking won't detect it; you won't get a helpful red underline to warn you.
- caymanjim 7y agoI'm fairly sure this is why I do it. I'm an average typist and above-average speller, but -ion spills out whenever I type it. There are almost no words ending in -io, and there are a lot ending in -ion. For some quick numbers, the OSPD database I have here has 1432 -ion words and only 47 -io words.
