Yeah, Marysecretary — you said — Oh for heaven’s sake, give her a break. SOOOO many Freepers do the same thing, substitute there for their. I even mistakenly wrote it the other day. It’s not the unpardonable sin, you know.

What happens is that your fingers develop a sort of “memory’ of typing certain words (that’s a “memory” right in the fingers themselves and not in your brain).
And so, your brain thinks one way, while your fingers are going on a “memory effect” — another way. I’m pretty sure this is what happens.
With me, I’ve got another problem sometimes, in that I’m processing “syntax” from another language in my brain, and sometimes I notice the syntax and wording style comes out in my “actual typing” — while I’m really thinking something else in slightly different words.
It’s all very strange, so it’s not as “simple” as the other poster may want it to be...

So I'm not the only one that happens to...
I was a secretary for 28 years professionally and I know how difficult it is sometimes to type the right tense or the right word. It’s easy to make a mistake but hard to proof it! I’m very particular about there and their but I still found myself using the wrong one in a post the other day. Stuff happens.
