It's a thing I've noticed about a handful of people in my life. I've never called attention to it, because I don't want to be rude. I'm not talking about regional accents, or people for whom English is a second language.
Very specifically, these people jumble the middle letters or even syllables of a word in their native language. Frequently.The word can be written down for them to see, or they may have recently heard the word spoken correctly by others several times. It seems to me like it might be a form of dyslexia or other similar situation.
It’s just a crossed wire somewhere but I’m not actually diagnosed.
The amazing thing is that it’s perfectly correct in my head but sometimes gets fucked in words.

I will very often say a different word than what I intended.
My wife will tell me what I did and in my mind it was just as intended. My mouth said a different thing most commonly from my inner monologue at the time.
And this doesn’t happen to me in writing. Only verbally.
