I wonder if there is a name for garden-path sentences which emerge from mis-reading or typos; or, more interestingly perhaps, a name for a garden path candidate sentence—which is being optimistically projected during reading—forcing a misreading.
An interesting sort of confirmation bias, which it is easy to interpret as "pressure from more abstract model layers, informing the word recognition layer"...
