I think I did not use to misspell the word habit when I was in middle school. Leastaways I was never corrected for it by teachers.
And then I read this post.
On which I blame the most habbit-filled years of my life.
Conclusion: habbits are contagious.

It's been how many years? And I still can't shake off the habbit.
And every time it happens, I think back to this post. Seriously, this never used to happen until I read it! And now I can't get rid of it!
(But in all probability it is likely just the muscle memory of writing/typing a certain word...)
But to add a new phenomenon relating to writing, in recent months my Google Docs has started recognizing certain ME names/Elvish terms and auto-correcting mis-typed names to spell them correctly. You know there is a lot of Tolkien happening on your computer when the AI learns how to speak Elvish.
