Is anyone aware of psychological research into why some people are prone to this type of error? This is a problem I have and often find bemusing but sometimes alarming. At least a few times a week I encounter text that I initially grossly misread by automatically inserting my own words instead of what was actually written. I am inclined to think it may have something to do with doing a lot complicated programming. Basically after years of programming and having to deal with detail, you survive by being good at applying triage to problems, ie knowing what to ignore and what to pay attention to. Perhaps misreading text is your brain attempting to apply this type of triage.
