People doing research on dyslexia or other learning disorder symptoms (like the overly literal interpretations that autistic people have) might have found something interesting. Dyslexia isn't just a reading problem, they can also make characteristic mistakes when speaking and listening to words. Learning disorder research is not quite directly applicable to the average population (though I read somewhere that 1 in 6 has a learning disorder) but doing something like searching for the words to describe dyslexic errors might lead you to interesting places.
