We all do it, so let's make a collection of them.
My three most frequent are:
malevolent (male volent)
molester (mole ster)
breaded (bearded)
A fool's paradise is better than none.

The one that made me laugh out loud at myself, was superbly. It was hyphenated at the end of the page .......if I remember correctly, I asked (out loud) what the heck a super bly was.

Does your misreading these words above relate to your ex being a goat?

Sometimes you hear someone reading aloud saying "Febuary". What about the "r"? "Feb

I often type "form" when I mean "from".
Thousands of years ago cats were worshipped. They have not forgotten.

This one is also not a misread, but a mistype too. I almost always type a t on the end of 'ough' words. It's such a habit, that it's almost a part of typing those words......... type it....backspace....carry on.
