Ever since I started writing I've been switching the letters b and m, both when typing and writing by hand. And only b and m. Does anyone else do that? Is it typical of dyslexia? I don't know why it's those letters, and only those letters, that get mixed up, but I tend to do it on a daily basis and looking back on journal entries I wrote when I was 6 I was switching them way back then as well.

Not to appear pedantic but a writing dysfunction is dysgraphia. Do you switch the letters when reading?

Oh I didn't know it had a different name, thanks. I sometimes read words as different words, but I don't usually switch letters like that.
