Why people write “psycology”

The misspelling “psycology” is only one letter off: it leaves out the silent H, a letter you barely hear when the word is spoken.

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 psychology automatic.
