      How would that make a difference? The words still mean different things… You just have to remember what spelling belongs to what word.

        English is not my first not language. When I write something down in my first language (polish), it feels more like I’m transcribing things I silently say to myself, while with english I’m actually thinking about every word I type.

        The funny thing is, the better I am getting at English, making those types of mistakes is getting easier for me.

        But idk, this is just my experience.

        Learning from hearing: I’ll write down the word that makes this sound

        Learning as a second language: I’ll write down the translation for the word I know in my native tongue.
