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

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.
