Hmm that occurred to me to but I also do the same thing with whole sentences. If I'm reading aloud and read 'As he ran he noticed a storm brewing', I'd often say 'A storm brewed as he ran'. Even if someone pointed my mistake out and read it aloud to me in my head I'd hear my version.
- thybag 12y agoI do exactly that, weirder still i can often tell the words on the page say somthing differnt to I'm reading while i'm reading it wrong. My fiancee does the same thing (we're both dyslexic).
- dsuth 12y agoMany people do this - take a look at any children's show where they read books out. Typically the spoken words don't match the page exactly, but do carry the gist of the story. I do the same thing when I read to my kids, my brain summarises a sentence very quickly, and I repeat it in my own words without thinking. I think this is just part of spoken communication - our brains short-circuit more formal written patterns into 'normal' speech patterns.
