    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.

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

      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 :)

                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.

                              You should never have ever write 'private' in .NET, its implicit where applicable.

                                I always type 'A' capitalized if it follows a (correctly)capitalized one, e.g.: W**A**rning. Moreover I quite often type **you** insted of your. Moreover I'm never able to close HTML TAGS because **7** doesn't make the job. Moreover... :)

                                    That's really language specific. IIRC, with VB.NET public is implicit.

                                        I am famous for doe snot (does not) all the time. Bad that the spell checker will not catch it. By the way :) 'Repetetive' is spelled as 'Repetitive'

                                          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.

                                          iton instead of tion, e.g. "Automaiton".
