I just read “broke” as “brook" (like broke artist as brook artist). That’s slightly scary. In retrospect, I should have read that word properly! (Maybe it is triggered when a word is visually unfamiliar to me and so I try to sound it out, often wrongly?) This certainly doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, I wonder if my brain is messed up.

yes that has happened with me. my treatment providers call it many things...normal, dyslexia, multiple sclerosis, vision problems that resulted in my needing glasses for a time, even some meds I have been on caused this to happen....
my suggestion... if this continues to bother you contact your treatment provider or a treatment provider in your off line location.
