losing
A few years ago, around the time I got a new keyboard, I started accidentally mistyping words beginning with a capital letter by capitalizing the first two letters. Like THis or SOmething like this. A slowing of the pinkie finger, perhaps?

I don't always do it, and when I do I often catch it, but it's one of my more common typos now. I'd never accidentally done it previously, or at least not with regularity.

Recently, I've started misspelling mid-length and longer words that begin with "i" by replacing it with "e." Emmensely, emmodestly, and empropriety. I know this isn't how they're spelled, but it's how that unthinking, reflexive typing center in my brain responds to these words. Once again, not always, but with "encreasing" frequency.

I do hope I'm not losing my mind, one keystroke at a time.
