    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 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:

                        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: )

                                I've had that happen before. Adjustments to coffee/Dr. Pepper/:beer: have been fixes for that :-D Adjusting up or down? It is something that needs to be fiddled with. Texting on the blackberry seems to work for some odd reason, too.

                                  I find that it happens when I try to type with more than one finger; try typing with only one finger. The worst was a computer I used in the mid-'80s (an Amstrad 1512?), writing Pascal, SET would always come out SETF -- apparently having S, E, and T pressed at the same time yielded F as well, much like a TI calculator. :mad:

                                      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?

                                        It seems to be to do with which hand is in charge of the next letter - when the same hand has to do two followed by a change of hands the instructions can get out of synch... Tie your left hand behind your back and the problem will be solved. (Other problems may appear however)

                                          So there is hope?
