        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.

                                          retrun flase I think the funniest typos I make are when I type out a correctly spelled word, but it was not the word that I was looking for. work instead of word I used to type caren instead of caret, (ex-girlfriend, don't let my wife know)
