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

    This, I also do it a lot. Which is quite annoying, since in German, lots of starting letters are upper case...

      That reminds of a photo I saw of a billboard that said, "Illiterate? Write for free help."

            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 ?

            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

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

              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.

                              That's a common one of mine, too. Not so much a typo as a failure between brain and finger, it really annoys me when I type the wrong word ... For example, their is know way I can tolerate this. I hate it when I read that sort of drivel, so it really upsets me when my fingers type it! They're doing it more and more as well, when I'm typing at speed.

                                I have dyslexic fingers, I can read and spell words fine but I cannot type them The most common one is that I work for a Compnay but other appear at intervals and sometimes letters randomly move along a word such as when I fill my car with perotl For some reason this is never a problem when writing

                                  Quote:

Look at preceding words to determine if the choice would ever appear. Also scan backwards from subsequent words to correct invalid insertion choices. Just a random thought.

                                      'serach'. It's a good thing app developers hardly ever have a need to use the term 'search'.

                                        If I had a dollar for every time I typed "flase," I could stop programming for a living.

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

                                          I once worked with a guy whose surname was Teh, and whatever email client we were using at the time (Outlook I think) would not let me address him correctly in an email.
