Continual misspelling
-
Does anyone else find that they frequently misstype a particular word when coding? When working on image related stuff, I quite often discover (when compiling) huge quantities of "Heigth"s in my code instead of "Height" (of course they only get spotted as errors when I type them correctly in the definitions, and wrongly thereafter) Normally my fingers just automatically type the correct words, but for some reason there seems to be a crossed line when it comes to heigth -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

I'm an awful speller. Looking back at some of my old code I have come across some really stupid stuff (ie. adress, poitner, etc.). Fortunantely, I consistently misspell the same words the same way repeatedly. Where it is really a problem, though, is when I misspell words that appear to the user.

I thought that it comes from the fact that my english is not so good and my mother tongue (italian) has completely different pronunciation rules and "th" or "ht" are not "valid letter combination" into italian, but I see that also english mother-tongue have the same problem... :) -- Looking for a new screen-saver?

Blast from the past: "fomrat" Tim Smith I know what you're thinking punk, you're thinking did he spell check this document? Well, to tell you the truth I kinda forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this here's CodeProject, the most powerful forums in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question, Do I feel lucky? Well do ya punk?

You could use target="new" if that's easier.

My writing teacher said that I'm the only kid she's ever had not misspell a single word on an in-class impromptu essay. Whenever I type in Word, it rarely has to correct anything. My friends hate my ability to spell and to point out their typos I literally have to ignore the mistakes because they stick out at me from the screen(or page(probably a bad sign that I thought of screen first)). Not meaning to brag or anything. :) David Stone dstone@newcenturytitle.com

Not while coding, but alas, when the forces of darkness make me programming "user" machines in the crude language of "plain English", I typically do ' ==> # (like "Ophelia#s boyfriend") tion ==> iton (like revoluiton) There *is* some typing error I used to do with nested loops:
for(int i=0; i < n1; ++i )
for(int j=0; j < n2; ++i )
...But I refrain from using j which surprisingly already fixes this metal bug.
