It is a natural mistake to make in some languages. E.g. in Norwegian the Devil 
can be spelled Faen or Fanden (modern) or Phanden (old-fashioned, no longer in 
dictionaries but still used to sort of tone down the expression). It's even 
there in English, like "file" and "philosophy". So it's an error committed not 
by the limbic system but by a slightly higher level sound-to-text translator 
brain circuit. The text is generated from how the word sounds in one's head.
