Why every time that my brain wants me to type "from" do my fingers actually type "form" ?

It's to do with which side of your brain controls thinking and which side controls actions. It happens to me form time to time too.

It could be worse:
Can you read this?

That happens to me a lot too. Your fingers probably just accidently hit "o" before "r" and you get "form." When I'm typing fast that happens to some words.

I do the same, and type have as ahve and had as ahd, just that my fingers work slower than my brain. In fact when using word the programme knows me so well that it automatically corrects those words

Depends. Are you filling out a from? If so who is it form?
(I always read the word shopfitter as shoplifter and astray as ashtray. Just one of those mind tricks I expect)

I reckon your mind has moved on before the message gets to the fingers. You'll have gathered you're not alone (me too)!

it's because you don't get your finger from the "f" to the "r" quick enough - your brain thinks you're faster than you are - so it moves on to the "o" too quickly (I do the exact same thing!)

No idea, but I typed On instead of No earlier.

I do that sometimes too, sometimes it's just typing too fast. You might have dyslexia though, too.
