    Is there some word that you have to type frequently that you just can't seem to do on the first try? For me, it seems to be microsost... microsfot... that company in Redmond. Good thing I don't have to type it often. :sigh: :sigh: :doh:

    It seems like my hands want to go back and forth as I peck. Words that alternate letters and then don't are at risk.

      Gerp! Many years ago a colleague and I wrote a shell around grep that took the output and fed it to a macro in brief which set up all the matches as search points, and we called it gerp - so you would gerp a file and brief would pop up and you could then next/prev to all the matches.

            "The" - but that's a feature, it's in my bio. Also anything ending in "ing" tends to be typed wrong.

            but in your response you got both "anything" and "ending" correct. Kudos!

                        Yep, but only when I'm going full speed (brain 3 steps ahead of my fingers). For me it's the word 'print', I always seem to type 'pring'. I use the ping command much more often then typing the word 'print'.

                              Probably 70%-80% of the time, I am typing "falg" instead of "flag". Is happening this way pretty much for 45 years, and it is a word, specially when working in assembler, that is very frequently used...

                                    Transform. Or anything else with n before s. The s always happens first unless I'm thinking about it.
