Does anyone alse type the same word wrong almost every time and rely on the spellchecker to catch it?

My worst to are belive=believe (i did it when I tried to type it right this time)
and remeber=remember

Just wondering and taking a break from being riled up. flowers.gif online2long.gif innocent.gif sour.gif

Ha. Funny topic.

I tend to add an "e" to a lot of words. Usually only on words that start with "w" I have no reason why I do this but it is most definitely consistent. (I also spell definitely wrong a lot I just realized w00t.gif )

Ex: with = withe
wait = waite
what = whate

My most consistent error is reversing characters - mostly "er/re" combinations and occasionally substituting a "t" for a "y" - and vice versa. The previous sentence could have started out: "My mosy consistent error is revresing charactres..." (this one actually started out "The pervious sentence..."). The reversal also happens with "mn" and "we" - as in "condenm" or "oil ewll". I will also sometimes double the wrong letter (as in "finaaly" for "finally").

The strangest typo affliction I had for a while was inserting a rogue "r" into words that ended "-tion". I think I've prett much broken myself of the habit, but I still occasionally come up with a "conceptiorn" or "productiorn". I have no explanation for that one.

Thank God for Spell Check - I just wish it replaced all those {curly brackets} with [straight ones]. sad.gif

I do that all the time and yes, thank GOD for spell check. I wonder if the quality of the keyboard would make this any better. Like my keyboard...I have kept THIS keyboard all the way from my 486 computer. It's starting to die crying.gif and I wonder if a new "better" keyboard would cut down on typos?

The word 'backspace' is almost worn off on my keyboard, altogether. Unfortunately, I think a little bit faster than I type... I usually catch it on my own, but the spell checker still catches me from time to time... Sometimes I get cocky and decide not to use it... laugh.gif That's why very frequently you'll see this under my posts:
