    Hmmm. Maybe next time that happens, you should check if you had enough sleep, water intake, and food intake. It might also happen when you have not gotten "some" in a while. If you know what i mean ;)

      Now, some days I can type quickly without errors. Now I admit I don't touch type, but I am not slow either. But on other days, I type complete rubbish - "great" becomes "grtea", "profit" becomes "rpoift", and so on. Thankfully, the bad typing days are few and far between. And thank God for Intellisense. I was wondering, is it just me or do any of you have similar "bad typing days"?

      Once in a while, but not too often. I tend to write a little slower to get it right the first time. When I see some of my collegues code, I'm struck by the fact that they try to write the fast they can, ALWAYS makes mistakes and have to correct a single word three to four times before it's right (mind you if it hadn't been for IntelliSense, they would never have arrived at that). Even though I type slower, I still code faster than they do... ;P

        Yes, and it's getting worse with age.

        Then just type "years old" instead (e.g., "I am 50 years old" instead of "my age is 50"). That way, you don't have to keep messing up when you type "age".

              I'm thinking it might be because of the overused hand.

                      You have possibly encountered Wheeler's Law of Computer Science: "Typing proficiency is inversely proportional to the number of people watching you do it."
