As I suggested in another thread, it is a matter of not proofreading. Look at the keyboard (that is used for American English as least) and the d and f are next to each other and it is easy to hit the wrong one.
 
I frequently post before proofreading and I horrified what I type..you so right jane about keyboard,i have thumb splint and it catches other keys and being little lazy I don't correct it plus it happens again
 
And if you have auto spellcheck and don't type a word fast enough , it could end up being typed another word. This happen to me a lot b/c I type slow and will get the wrong word , sometime it can be very awkward too.
 
Remember also they are both correctly spelled words (just used in the wrong place) so spellcheck is not going to find it.
 
Or recently "def" which is apparently an illiterate's phonetic spelling, but also a slang word.

But then it's acknowledged I am often irritated, so just the norm for me.
 
Have seen people who have a "lisp" in their speech when they talk...and say "death" instead of "deaf".....Anyhow, I get a laugh when someone says..."How long have you been dead?"...and I replied...since I've been watching The Walking Dead....
 
This isn't alldead.com? I've been at the wrong place all this time!

my auto spell check got life of its own works sometimes mostly not
 
D and F are right next to each other, end of story!
 
When I transferred to California, oh, a thousand years ago, I informed my life insurance company, Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (remember their jingle, "Our business is life"?). Well they sent me a new payment notice at the California School for the Dead where I stayed very temporarily (in an apartment), addressed "California School for the Dead".......so much for their motto, huh? :lol:


Correction: Dead, not Deaf
