Something happened to my brain lately and I started to make this kinds of typos in English, which I didn't before.

I'm 32, but I noticed I started making similar mistakes around 28 or so. Occasionally I write out words which are completely wrong, but sound similar.

It's as if one part of the brain is doing the thinking, and another one is "listening" to it and transcribing/typing it out, making mistakes.

For a little while I was a bit worried, but I then realized nothing else had changed, so I've just gotten used to it and like to jokingly say "I've become so fast at thinking that even I can't keep up!"
