    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.
