    Typos?

    Are there words that you continually type incorrectly? I have a few that I almost always do.

    same - smae
    just - jsut
    like-liek (I don't do this one as much as the others)

    and sometimes 'and' instead of 'an'. I guess I just type the word 'and' so much that my brain automatically adds the 'd'.


    See? I already had to edit this for typos!!

    I'm TERRIBLE at words that end in 'ing.' I'm forever spelling it "ign." I also spell like as "liek."

    I also am guilty of the ign instead of ing. And I am forever typing a ; instead of ' in contractions, and for some reason I always forget to add the "m" before the "b" in "remember".

    Of often is og
    so is often sp
    ....and so on.....

    I type a lot, I used to have more words I would mistype regularly but now it's mostly down to a couple. One I always struggled with was the medication Aricept, my hands always typed Aricipet. I finally made a macro so when I typed in "ari" it automatically made it "Aricept". I also constantly mistype the word "hygiene." I know how to spell it but my fingers are determined to type "hygeine" for some reason. I had to put an auto correct in for that one as well.

    Mostly commonly now I mistype numbers and put " instead of ' in contractions.

    the 3 you mentioned and

    "and" I keep typing "adn"

    and

    "the" I almost never fail to type "teh"

    I also keep typing "s" when I mean "ed" and vis versa it drives me crazy because I backspace and retype the word exactly the same way lol

    Just & the are two typos I mess up a lot lol! I somehow managed to skid through typing in high school with a passing grade, and by only using two fingers (mostly), so I guess I'm doing OK considering! Just keep me out of an active chat room, and I'll be alright!

    Instead of 'No one' I sometimes say 'Noone' or 'None'
