Why people write “grammer”

The misspelling “grammer” is only one letter off: it writes E where grammar 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 grammar automatic.
