Your frequent unintentional typing mistakes?

[Forogar]

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

Indeed. :)

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....

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, navigate a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

tue instead of the (on the phone keyboard, that is).

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

In an odd coincidence, I tweeted this yesterday:

Quote:

The next generation of auto-correct must have grammatical context checking in the choice engine. 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.

Yeah, I always think it's my finger that has slowed down...

'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.

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.

When I want to type "from" it comes out as "form", and when I want "form" I type "from".

[John Wellbelove]

I often used to write 'teat' for 'test' and 'bugger' for 'buffer' :omg:

Sounds like a multitasking problem. Your left hand is running faster than your right hand.

Way back in my old typing class (using manual typewriters), we were told that the qwerty keyboards were made so that the most common words would use an equal combination of left and right keystrokes. One letter from the left or right, the next from the other hand. This would speed up typing. Typing two letters from the same hand simultaneously would slow the typist down. This made perfect business sense. The more typing that could be done in the least amount of time meant more money for the business. (And, this goes back many generations.)
