Ever since I took up IRC, I've noticed an ever increasing tendency to substitute homonyms for other words in my writing. I used to never so much as confuse "it's" and "its", now I routinely catch myself typing "you're" for "your", "to" for too", and even oddities like "one" for "won." Not only has it directly affected my online discussions, I also find it creeping into other, more deliberate forms of writing. Discussing this with my fellow chatters has revealed other people having noticed this phenomenon in their own lives as well when they began to do more communicating online. I would like to propose the term "homonyslexia" to describe this curiosity. I choose this word both because I love clever word play, and because it has zero homonyms of its own. So what is the cause of "homonyslexia"? Is it because of constant exposure to other chatters who demonstrate less than stellar grammar and spelling? Or does the more rapid pace of online chat, as opposed to other written communication, allow us less time to reflect on word choice, with the sloppiness gradually seeping into other areas of our lives?
