A rather innocent question.

Is it normal for someone to start misspelling words that were once easy? Like you go to spell a word but you put another. I guess an example would be if I were to spell "the" but instead I put "and" or if I were to put "a" but instead I used "I". Or like I've been doing and put "but" instead of "put"... Or misspell a word beyond recognition. 

I am just curious.

Speaking as a writer of both fiction and essays, yes, yes it is.
I don't know why, but I'd suspect is has to do with a) autocorrect slowly eroding the need to get words right on the first go, b) increased familiarity with writing causing your brain to autopilot and start entering the wrong words, and/or c) the slow degradation of our digits through prolonged use of keyboards and video game controllers.

I've started to do it on paper too and thank you for providing your input. It helps me narrow it down.
