I had always thought I do this because some other word that I type a lot has the letters in that order. For example, you say you keep typing lenght. Well, once you fix that, will you start typing ligth instead of light? (Or any of the many words that are ght. It's a common combination in English.)
- rococode 7y agoWow, that's an interesting hypothesis! I just pulled up a random wordlist on GitHub (370k words) [1]. Searching it in a text editor, "ght" appears 1621 times and "gth" only appears 77 times! So perhaps habitual mistakes like these really are caused by the higher frequency of a different ordering of the same letters.
