Maybe it’s the fact that I am not seeing the surrounding context with your quote, but it reads fine to me.
Perhaps it is my own way of thinking & writing which enables this. I was told by my mother that she knows when she’s reading something I wrote versus my siblings.
Otherwise, perhaps it is related to when one reads misspelled or incomplete words, yet our brains enable us to understand what was meant anyway, and in some cases, this is only consciously realized upon a second read.
