    Mine actually is 'in' & 'on'. I put 'in' instead of 'on'. And 'on' instead of 'in'. Reason is simple, 'i' & 'o' located together next to next(side by side) in keyboard. My finger randomly picks any of two. Only 50-60% time it picks correctly. What's your ?

    Where do I start... my fingers often type the most common words that I use. A bit like predictive text, so I will usually start the word correctly, and then finish it with the most common word I use that starts with the same letters. Unfortunately I can't think of an example right now. Usually it rarely matters as the correct word can be figured out from the context. However, the one thing I do that is the most annoying, is that I have a very bad habit of leaving the "n't" off the end of words. So for example, "wasn't" and "didn't" become "was" and "did". Which as you can imagine completely changes what I am trying to say.

        Griff types "teh" instead of "the" all the time. However, my typing is perfect, and I never make mistakes while doing it. :rolleyes: :laugh:

            Yeah but that's a feature, not a bug. It's in the manual. :-D

                Apart from "the" and "teh", I normally type single quote as a semicolon: doesn;t, didn;t, wasn;t, ... And really annoyingly, I found it really hard to deliberately type them wrong for those examples. I tried, but my brain didn't want to spell "doesn't" wrong. Damnit - now those were right as well... :doh:

                                      Mine actually is 'in' & 'on'. I put 'in' instead of 'on'. And 'on' instead of 'in'. Reason is simple, 'i' & 'o' located together next to next(side by side) in keyboard. My finger randomly picks any of two. Only 50-60% time it picks correctly. What's your ?

                                      From way back in the DOS days, to this very minute, I still type 'Fomrat' instead 'Format'. (Which one of those do you think I just had to correct?) ...and 'Proejct' instead of 'Project'. And I tend to put the first character of a word as a space and the space as the second character of a word.

                                        That is autocorrect, ain't it?

                                        In Word you can only store 2 bytes. That is why I use Writer.

                                          I never make misteaks! :) My mistakes are usually off-by-one errors (e.g. ertr instead of were).
