About this episode
The episode discusses the phenomenon of making repeated errors in writing and speaking, exploring how these mistakes can become habitual and what can be done to address them.
Have you ever noticed that you always make the same typo when writing? Or, that you repeatedly misspeak some phrase or mispronounce some word when talking? When you make the same mistake often enough (sometimes, once is enough!), it starts to become a habit in that context. We discuss these "chained in" errors and what you can do about them. What are your chained in errors?
