WHY WE MIS-SPELL WORDS SOMETIMES EVEN WHEN WE KNOW BETTER

U know why we mis-spell words sometimes even when we know better? In some cases bc were simply typing too fast (on a small keyboard), but also sometimes bc we are using our "affective" side of the brain more than the "rational" or "cognitive" & therefore the spelling becomes secondary ...but then we go back to something we wrote when our cognitive side has resumed control & we notice all our spelling errors. Its not because we don't know HOW to spell it, its because the spelling at times becomes less important to us than what we are trying to express.
