Email is an endless source of entertainment to a student of cognitive
processes. It's fascinating to see the small slips a brain makes, as above:
some part of my dancing finger/brain combo knew I was preparing to type
`doing' even as it tried to write `been'. We make such glitches all the
time vocally, of course, but it's not as noticeable. Will AIs be prey to
such lexical pranks in their own code re-writing? Scary if so...
