Constant Typos

29 Jul 2009

Im a self taught two finger typist....comes from hours on forums like this, and also from typing up reports and theses ect from when i worked.
BUT why oh why on gods green earth can I NEVER and I mean NEVER type
myselfand just without stopping and doing it slowly and deliberatley.
If i do it fast it comes out myslef and jsut every piggin time.
can anyone explain why these two words seem to mis-spell themselves (nearly put themsleves)
and does anyone else have this prob with other words dunno

i'm known in my local room for my typos, i blame long nails, mr w or anything else thats springs to mind, my dyslexic typos word is like... usually well i say usually 9/10 it comes out liek, so your not alone and i's sure more will be along shortly rolleyes

I get that all the time. I'm sure it's to do with the rhythm of typing. Left hand then right hand and left again. If you have to break the pattern to get to the letters your hands don't keep up and get to the letters in the wrong order.
My main example (apart from myslef which I do too) is teh for the. It's the right - left - right thing definitely, I just watched myself do it.
That and putting the spac ein too early. biggrin

I'm normally a stickler for good English, but in chat I have to loosen up a bit or I'd never post the comment.

Those are also my two main typo errors ...quite agree it's the right-left-right thing.

It's not the typing that's the problem for me......just the fact I can't spell! Thank god for spell checker!:lol2:

I don't know why I do it but rather than typing coke, I type cock. Luckily enough, it has only been to Ian but I am getting worried I'm going to do it at work :eeek:

I get my typos from typing quicker than my brain can work, although if I didn't stop to correct them I'd have a LOT more typos than I do normally.

People at work comment on how fast I type - for a non-trained typist.
I don't want to break it to them that at least 50% of my typing is backspacing over typos and retyping them.
Yeah, I can type things wrong really fast. :giggle:
Oh and spell checkers don't always help. For instance, eth is a real word. It is an Anlgo-Saxon letter for the 'th' sound in 'bath'.

Yup! I have the same problem too. I think it has a lot to do with the QWERTY keyboard which was deliberately designed to slow down typing to stop manual typewriters from jamming up.
The problem is it isn't ergonomic, but we've sort of got used to it.
cool

I have occasional problems.
When I want to type "Have wild fulfilling sex with me you horny nymph of desire" what actually comes out is "Hello".
Oh, and hello by the way.

My most unfortunate occasional typo is when I ask "Are you busy?" in chat or msn, and "busy" comes out as "busty". redface

You must have the same keyboard as me hunni, those words always misspell themselves on mine ( funny enough in texts too blink

)
I usually blame the fact that I'm not wearing my specs when typing. What's your excuse? :giggle:

"Jsut" is my main typo, drives me crazy cos I can type long words no problem. I think its because I top and think about those ! Also suffer from the space thing, its always in the wrong place !

30 Jul 2009

I have the same problems typing "myself" and "have" i always put "ahve" and the classic one for lots must be "just", even when i concentrate it still comes out wrong mad

30 Jul 2009

The one I always have trouble with is "regards". I don't know if it's Freudian but it tends to come out as "retards". It's caused some offence on occassions! :shock:
But tehy do say taht as lnog as the frist and lsat ltetres are in the rgiht palce you can slitl raed msot wrods. ;-)
