    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 ?

    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:

                          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.

                                    I can handle typos. What drives me up the wall is keyboards that have narrow Shift keys at either end so some manufacturer could add an extra key (or even two) that doesn't belong there.

                                        I thought I am the only one having this weird issue. :) It happens 8 out 10 times when typing for me.

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