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

    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.
