    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 ?

    Mine is 'A' instead of 'a' after another upper case letter (e.g. 'CArlo').

          Decades ago, the company secretary had to type up the company fire instructions when we moved into our new building. Prominent in the instructions was the phrase

          In case of fire, DO NOT LEAVE THE LIFT

                        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).

                              You'd never make these mistakes if you switched to the Dvorak keyboard setup[^]. The qwerty setup was created to slow you down! In the old days when typewriters were used, the mechanical keys would bump each other if a person typed too fast so they created qwerty to slow typists down. Yes, it's a conspiracy that makes you type so poorly! :rolleyes:

                                        Decades ago, the company secretary had to type up the company fire instructions when we moved into our new building. Prominent in the instructions was the phrase

                                        In case of fire, DO NOT LEAVE THE LIFT

                                        Reminds me of the slogan that was almost used to advertise a local university:

                                        Quote:

                                        Do you enjoy being mentally challenged?

                                        :doh:

                                          My tablet does that a lot - I think teh soft keyboard SHIFT key "Holds on" a bit too long, and I don;t like it!
