Is there a word for the situation where you accidentally type a homonym? E.g., "I took there place". I'm thinking of the case where the person committing the error clearly knows better, but just doesn't catch it. Typo doesn't quite work, because that, to me, denotes a slip of the fingers on the keyboard. This case is more of a mental slip (though deep-down, I wouldn't be surprised if there were some relationship to the interaction of mind and fingers; in other words, are these mistakes as common in handwriting?). Until I hear a better suggestion, I am gonig to call these Mental Typos.
Or, how about "there-theirs"?
