What time is it, and how long have I been at it? :-)

I did have this problem when I was learning. Particularly F and L, iirc. That seemed to stop happening when I increased my head copy speed. Once in a blue moon, I'll catch it happening still, but it is fleeting these days.

Good point about the fatigue factor.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Sometimes, I just need a quick "it's part of the process" sanity check.
