mild concern...

For the past week or so, I've caught myself misspelling homonyms (there/their/their, etc) and typing "and" instead of "at."

Weird.

You are clearly suffering from a case of homonymity. If it is diagnosed and treated in the early stages you should make a full recovery.

Homonymity? Sounds serious...

You need to go to the nearest proofreader or copyeditor right away. If you cannot find a proofreader get thee to a Chicago Manual of Style and place the open book on your face.

I have two APA style manuals at home, will that do? It's the writing style I need to use professionally.

APA is fine. But doesn't someone in the office have some sort of style manual? Strunk & White? Anything?
