I'd go for "not picking it up"; since this required you to overlook the spelling of both "currant" and "raisin".
It's weird...long about 1997 my ordinary dropped letter, transposed letter and mis-timed space bar errors (the ones thet glue letters on to the wrong word, like "Th equick brownf ox" for "The quick brown fox") were joined by a new failure mode: spellings that phonetically made sense but were utterly wrong. Occasionally there were inappropriate homophones (to/too/two right/write/wright/rite and so forth) but more often phonetically plausible but novel spellings of less ordinary words.
