    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 ?

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

        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.

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

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

                          For whatever reason I often miss the second "o" when I type SET NOCOUNT ON. All other errors I blame on a faulty keyboard driver which cannot read my sloppy typing. Particularly when my password fails. I know my password, the computer just can't read it

                            What's really weird is that, apart from misplaced spaces, this is the only common typo I do. :confused:

                                Yeah, that has been getting to a frequent problem - then I went to the neurologist and was told I have 'essential tremors' in my left hand ( only the *left* one though :confused:). And why it is called 'essential' I do not understand - I certainly don't want or need it. I have to spend more time rereading what I type to make sure I didn't double a letter or miss one....

                                        I always press the correct keys. The order of the keys is the problem. For eaxmple.
