Why does my typing and actual results show differences?

I have noticed that on many occasions I will type something - maybe on Yahoo/Answers or just about any place and I realize that my brain and fingers work separately. Almost like an old Oija board.

Any else have had similar things occur?. I will write: FROM and it types FOR..

    I often type ot for to, or teh for the...and you know where pwn came from (look where the O is in relation to the P). It is a matter of getting one finger ahead fo the other... oops, of. I also will end a word with the firsl (first) letter of the next word I am thinking of. Typing involves translating a thought into a word into its letters send to the fingers to press the right keys in the right order, quickly. Easy to see why there might be a slight error from time to time, eh? No spiritualism involved, just an imperfect system for turning thoughts into symbols on a page...
