I'll say 'next week' instead of 'next year' or 'tomorrow' instead of 'yesterday'. That can be really weird. |

I've not come across that one before.
My mum does the very common: running through a list of family names before she gets to the right one - and that list often started with the dog's name while 'Gus' the mastiff was still around. Probably because that's the name she used most often during the day, and so was at the forefront of her memory.
In my case the word gets misdirected to the visual cortex, so I can visualise the object I want, but can't redirect the thought towards whichever part of the brain holds the dictionary so as to find the correct word for it.
I could draw a picture of it far more easily than I could say the word.

<Added>I can also write stuff down far more easily that I could say it., the pathway goes directly from my inner thoughts to my fingers; if I try to record my thoughts onto a dictaphone, I very quickly loose the thread.
