Why people write “accurite”

The misspelling “accurite” is only one letter off: it writes I where accurate has A, an easy slip because in an unstressed syllable both vowels can sound like the same soft "uh".

Spell-checkers catch the mistake in a document, but not in a handwritten note, a text message or a word game. Writing the word out a few times while saying the tricky part aloud is the quickest way to make accurate automatic.
