Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately?

Most of my stupid spelling mistakes, missing words, and other typing errors are because I developed the terrible habit of proofreading only in the instant between hitting the post button and the subsequent UI refresh. The better my lemmy host is running, the lower the readability of what I’ve posted.
I’ve also noticed that muscle memory does some strange stuff to my typing. Like in the first sentence of this comment I typed “instance” rather than “instant.” I meant instant but, since I work with AWS 5 days a week, my fingers autopiloted instance because I type it much more often.
