Continual misspelling
-
My writing teacher said that I'm the only kid she's ever had not misspell a single word on an in-class impromptu essay. Whenever I type in Word, it rarely has to correct anything. My friends hate my ability to spell and to point out their typos I literally have to ignore the mistakes because they stick out at me from the screen(or page(probably a bad sign that I thought of screen first)). Not meaning to brag or anything. :) David Stone dstone@newcenturytitle.com

Does anyone else find that they frequently misstype a particular word when coding? When working on image related stuff, I quite often discover (when compiling) huge quantities of "Heigth"s in my code instead of "Height" (of course they only get spotted as errors when I type them correctly in the definitions, and wrongly thereafter) Normally my fingers just automatically type the correct words, but for some reason there seems to be a crossed line when it comes to heigth -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

Not while coding, but alas, when the forces of darkness make me programming "user" machines in the crude language of "plain English", I typically do ' ==> # (like "Ophelia#s boyfriend") tion ==> iton (like revoluiton) There *is* some typing error I used to do with nested loops:
for(int i=0; i < n1; ++i )
for(int j=0; j < n2; ++i )
...But I refrain from using j which surprisingly already fixes this metal bug.

Yeah, Usually with the word "Color" as "Colour", the proper english spelling of the word, i have an entire module where i misspelt percent as precent aswell :)

I'm an awful speller. Looking back at some of my old code I have come across some really stupid stuff (ie. adress, poitner, etc.). Fortunantely, I consistently misspell the same words the same way repeatedly. Where it is really a problem, though, is when I misspell words that appear to the user.

This isnt a coding spelling typo really, but whenever i come across a word that i dont know how to spell. I will write it differently everytime it comes up in a paragraph just so as that chances of a correct spelling will be right. Very annoying for anyone who read my writing. That is if they ever could read my handwriting due to its complete illegibility (spell? ;P )

On a project I was doing for SAIC, someone had spelled the word "delimiter" as "delimeter". I explained to the boss that i was almost positive that the original programmer was trying to come up with a new term for measuring the length of a submarine sandwich (deli meter), and that he really wanted the word "delimiter".
