Is this recent or did you do that for some time?   I learned 'touch
typing' in high school (1900s), and don't usually look at the screen as I
type.  Unless I go back and reread what I inserted in a reply, I'll often
find I didn't stroke these new fangled keys as firmly as a regular
typewriter, and can sometimes end up with above missing characters or words.
When I had spellchecker turned on, it would catch parts of words missed, but
wouldn't find example like you gave above.   G./

I used to do that all the time. Had to proof-read all my essay-type
homework at school.

Perhaps some form of aura or a sort of very minor absence seisure?
Hasn't happed in a long while though.

Is this a problem that happens when handwriting as well, or only with
typing?

Darryl.

First, I am not a doctor and therefore I am not liscensed to diagnose
medical problems...However, I am a nurse and I specialize in
neurology/nerosurgery patients (so please don't sue me).  I also have
epilepsy (see my story under "just venting" a few weeks ago.)

Your complaint reminded me of patients I have that develop speech problems
after a stroke or other brain injuries. So I did a little research...

Okay, time for the medical jargon:

Generally problems with speech or writing are termed "aphasia."  There are
several different types of aphasia, but none of them fit the problem you
are having. So this is what I found that sounded similar:

"Morphological agrammatism is characterized by an impairment in the use of
function words (conjuctions, articles, prepositions, etc.)..."

Borrowed from "Principles of Human Neuropsychology" by G. Dennis Rains

The example the book gave was "Boy give ball referee"  I thought this
sounded similar to the example you gave of "I'm going to movie tonight"

I also did a google search on this and found nothing significant.  Most
research done on this type of agrammatism appears to be when the person is
having trouble speaking the words, not writing or typing.

This type of deficit occurs when there is a leision or deficit in the part
of the brain known as "Broca's area" which is in the lower left frontal
lobe.  So, if your seizures involve this part of the brain maybe that
could be what is causing it?  Do you notice if it gets better or worse in
relation to seizure activity?

Anyways, like I said earlier, I'm not trying to dignose you.  I just
thought you may be interested in this information. I hope reading this is
not a complete waste of your time.  I guess if anything you can use these
big words to impress your friends :)(I know I do!)
