Is It Possible For Fingers To Become Dyslexic?
-
I've noticed over the past several months that I frequently mistype simple words by reversing the order of two letters. 'Around' becomes 'aorund', 'type' turns out as 'tpye', etc. I have no trouble reading or doing math, never have, and I've never had any trouble typing on a keyboard. But lately it seems I'm spending more time fondling the backspace key than any other. It's getting annoying!:mad: Is there a cure? Finger transplant, maybe? Or should I just get a speech-to-text converter and be done with it?

I spent a week once coding lots of graphics helper code. A week later I came to integrate that code into an existing app, and spent hours cursing the compiler for not being able to find any of the GetHeight() or GetWidth() functions? The reason? That first week, I had 100% consistently typed "Widht" and "Heigth" instead of "Width" and "Height" - since it was consistent, I hadn't noticed any problems anywhere. The second week, my finger/brain spasm seemed to revert back to normality, so I was typing correctly again!
Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Buzzwords!

I always seem to get "form" and "from" the wrong way round. Not that it helps you but I feel your pain!

I do that all the time, but as long as I get the first 3 characters correct intellisense can do the rest :) I wish (or rather wonder if) they had (have) intellisense for normal typing (kinda like they have on some predictive text input for cell phones).

Gads, I hope not! My Nextel phone has that and it sucks. I can't think of a single word it ever got right, and since the damned things don't come with a manual it took days for me to find a way to shut it off.:mad:

Wait until you start typing your own name wrong... Then you'll be looking for a 12-step program!

I do that a lot when I try to type as fast as I can. But at normal speed (slow) I do that rarely.

Very likely. See, I'm a chemist by profession and after I spent some longer time out of the labs I noticed that I previously showed some signs of dyslexia (misspelled writing). Now I'm almost certain that it was from all the stuff that I inhaled through time - ammonia, chlorine, acids... you name it. (I don't drink alcohol or smoke so I enjoy things that would suffocate even a stronger person :laugh: )
