Came across this unfortunate spelling error that I see often (click the little green box below to view larger). This could happen out of habit since we’re used to simply adding “ed” to change a word from present tense to past tense. I’ve caught myself doing this on occasion. Sometimes my fingers have a mind of their own. I’d be thinking, “You won’t find any there.”

My fingers decide to type, “You won’t find any their.” Eww. I immediately catch my error most of the time, but when I don’t — talk about horrified. No spellchecker can save me hear (yes, pun intended).
