Whenever I'm typing I almost invariably type "teh" instead of "the".
I've decided that my fingers are dyslexic!

Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.
What would Vedder do? -
I do the same thing. I also spell morning "monring." Every time. And however I spell Guardian (except for this time 'cos I've checked) it's always, always wrong. I think it's my brain. It's not working proper.I don't roll on Shabbos -
Most of my words get mixed up when typing; brain moves faster than fingers and try to keep up with what's going on upstairs all the time [that's my excuse]. I know how to spell, it's just the letters get jumbled up when typing them.
I used to have an assistant that definitely did not type fast, and still typed lots of words consistently incorrectly. As these were for external reports I had to do something or I'd end up in the madhouse. I used to come in early and change the 'auto correct' so that she would type the wrong thing and it would still come out right. Can you do that - not many words the 'teh' in them - so just autocorrect it and you'll never get annoyed again. Ditto Guardian/morning etc.

True and Flase (a programmers nightmare !)
I once wrote a huge essay on 'arms length organisations', spell checked it and handed it in. Bloomin spellchecker (my fault for not paying attention) turned every occurance of 'organisation' into something completely different. I waxed lyrical about 'the need for arms length orgasms' !Comment

LadyWayne does a lot of emailing on her Crackberry and she once told a client to monitor their "sausage".
The correct word was "usage"
The problem I have with my spellchecker on emails in particular is that it's all set up via our German HO and as a result is set to German spellings.
I do becasue too Ma!A simple dude trying to grow veg. http://haywayne.blogspot.com/

i'm a 2 finger typer, one finger each hand, and no thumbs, but i can type quite fast, as long as i can see the keyboard ..... i can't use the desktop pc for typing stuff, cos the letters have all worn off the keys.
son does touch typing, and can even text without looking ...... i can't even text properly using predictive text.Comment
