    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 ?

    '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.

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

            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.

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

                  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.) [My first typewriter was an Underwood.]

                        I think English got it reversed. It should be form and from.
