Repetetive Typos

[Malcolm Smart]

Does anybody else constantly type the same word incorrectly? Without fail, I type the as teh. Back in my BBC Basic days, pirnt instead of print as well.

Yes - and also I always read the word "shopfitters" as "shoplifters"

yes, "adn" about 1/3 of the time.

I've had to add them to the autocorrect dictionary in Word. Now I never know I did it. Out of sight, out of mind ;)

"Bard". Yeah that does get awkward. "Hey, I'm Bard" "... Ok sing us something"

Yep, teh, pritn, untill. My latest dyslexic trait is too put teh space sin my sentence sone lette rbefore wher ethey shoul dbe. I'm told I have a specifi clearning difficulty but I' msure they just mean I'm stubborn :laugh:

Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

Your for you're, there for their, complement for compliment.... whaddya mean they're not typos? They are they are! :sigh: Actually, one of my most common typos is beginning one word before finishin gthe next, as in theya re haha just noticed i did it above: "finishin gthe"

[Bijesh]

I frequently hit 'l' instead of ';' at the end of a line and then hit enter, so the intellisense picks up the first symbol starting with l and inserts it there..:)

[Aaron VanWieren]

I hate when I do this for a string value and then I have to figure out where hte non matching string occurs as the eyes ignore the typo and I can't figure what the frig is going on!!

retrun and teh are the commonest ones I do. The worst bit is when you get it wrong, delete it and then proceed to get it wrong again. At least I'm consistently defective.

Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

[Baconbutty]

Weird - me too

I still remember having to write your own code in FORTRAN rather than be a cut and paste merchant being pampered by colour coded Intellisense - ahh proper programming - those were the days :)

[Rage]

varialbe _and_ I very often put to second letter of a word whose first letter is upper case, upper case as well. LIke that.

Just follow the idea in the WTF post from a while back. #define retrun return #define flase false

Yes, and Intellisense really exacerbates it. I cannot type an 'i' after a 'pr'. Every single time I try and declare a private, I get kicked into a protected.

Added: I just remembered my worst: Hitting 5 instead of F5 to debug / run a query. This pops a sneaky little 5 into the code, so the correctly hit F5 fails.
