You are absolutely correct. I missed that on my proofread. Kind of lame since it is such a short post.

The older I get, the more I find myself making spelling mistakes based on word pronunciation. Sometimes I use a totally different word than what I was thinking, which makes absolutely no sense unless you read it aloud. Then you realize what happened. Hopefully it is not early onset dementia. Though it would not be -that- early.

I think it isn't, and suspect we all have such quirks, especially at the interaction of writing and sound. I occasionally find, for no clear reason, that when I am trying to say a color name I will instead say another color with the same first letter (e.g., if I meant to say 'green', then I will sometimes say 'grey' instead). I am not so young either, but I have done this for as long as I can remember, and don't think I suffer from dementia ….
