I Can Write, Honest

I've been making some very strange spelling and grammatical errors recently. You will have probably noticed in my last blog that I wrote "their" instead of "they're". Normally I wouldn't even dream of making such a silly error, I'm not sure what is up with me at the moment. Maybe it's because I'm tired.

When I did my week long nearly-no-sleep-athon in the second year I found that when I wrote words would often become very strangely jumbled without me noticing. For example, "think" would become "thnik". It wasn't a typographical error, either. If I rewrote the word it would come out the same. I had to slowly but surely concentrate on each letter in turn, find the key on the keyboard using my eyes and then type it. Otherwise the word would just keep coming out wrong.
