    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).

                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:

                                        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 ?

                                        Luck, l or f depending on my attitude not because they're close together.

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

                                          You mean "It's in teh manual." ?
