A few years ago, there was a word here was defined as that tendency of a writer or scribe to drop letters from the words they are writing. As in: dropping the 'r' from "celebrate" to now have the word (mispelled) "celebate". Or, as I often do, leaving the first letter off the next word if it repeats the last letter of the previous word. example: "at he" should be "at the".
I would like to be reminded what that word is that labels this condition.
