But they do have similar shapes. It is not the 2-key distance between 'g'
and 'd' that gets them confused sometimes. I have also seen slips of the key
from opposite ends of the keyboard, probably due to "crossed nerves". Typing
is a strange activity, just as handwriting. Perhaps the spirits were trying
to get a message through, but too much conscious control was still being
exerted. ;)
