Willard, the Red,
Mary Dee's explanation of the snipe game was most fascinating.

And for some reason, I scrolled on to find a snypo! (a typo of the
snipe-variety) in a message that I had sent.

Willared -- linguistic interference of "mallard" euphony?
Leads me to ask : are there researchers working on the epistolary genre
who have done stylistic analysis of the possible links between
sub-vocalisation and the graphic presentation of "errors"? in other words
is there a corpus of letters about marked up in such a fashion that one
would be able to compute the frequency of occurence for auditory ghosts in
written communications.
Supplemental question: how many touch typists compose by dictation?
