Oh, I def meant that!
It’s just what my keebler autocorrected to & I assumed that was the more usual/used of the two words (and was too lazy to look it up since I knew it could mean the same).
My brainhole mixes the two a lot bcs I don’t know how to English (I’m bad at all languages tbf), maybe now that I had a convo about it will be better.
I started mixing the two after Dork Souls, where it’s a starter class you can pick:
Lol, but those two never bothered me, I can ‘just automatically tell’ which to use (even if both can be verbs & nouns). Also stuff like which witch to use, it just never settled in the same association pool in my brain I guess :).
Now, left vs right also gave me a lot of issues until I just forced myself to invest however much time of active learning it needed to get etched into my skull (in my late 20s or early 30s).
Colours (in all languages) also aren’t the easiest for me.
I still have to make an L shape with my index and thumb, at the very least mentally, to remember which side is left x.x
To my knowledge I don’t really struggle with any such words in conflating their meanings, though in the last few years I’ve developed the strange habit of occasionally typing out a phonetically similar word when I mean to write something else. Or I’ll swap an A for an E ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also whether to write British English with an S or Z. I’ll interchange those at random.
Oh yeah, similarly, I don’t think I’m dyslexic, but sometimes I’m completely blind to distinguishing between two different characters (usually vowels).
Like, I 100% know how the word is spelled but my mental spell check just fails even after someone points out which specific letter is amiss.
Ah, I assumed you had meant to type"depraved" and thought to do a funny, but I guess that also works.

Understandable.
Affect and effect must also be a fun one in that case. Or assure, ensure, insure.
English do be a bit of a mess sometimes.

Hah. “Association pool” makes a lot of sense.
