What are yours?

I think i overused the word "well" "in my opinion" and using "be words". It was my sister make me realized me that I overused using those word, when she read some of my responses.

I think I am somewhat dyslexic at times, even though I am a touch typist I do get words wrong, so I have to go and correct them, I am quite pedantic at words and I have a keen eye for picking up typos in mine and other's which can be annoying, so I have to hold back, even in some really important letters and emails and even on sites I see glaring typos which shouldn't be there! I see you have a problem with wold LOL should be would, so you're right there! I always have a problem with apostrophe's where they should go when there is an s on the end of the word i.e Stevens' Book or Steven's Book! I just never understood the rule when it came to apostrophe's!

I try not to develop any typo habits, raz, but I do have a few words I mess up on and usually correct before I submit them. One word I always type wrong is teeth. For some reason, I type it, 'teetch' and have to correct it.

The two I have noticed most recently are "because" and "from". I frequently spell them becuase and form. I don't always catch my mistakes, either, which is rather annoying!

When typing i think, it always ends up It hink. lol. And depending on the keyboard i am using i tend to use the backspace key more then any other key, cause i get used to my keyboard at home and then its hard to use another one. lol. It's like sleeping in someone elses bed! its hard to get used to! I also tend not to capitalize my I's when i should.. but that's from talking on msn and irc. I think i mess up the word that as well sometimes. It's hard to think of the typo's when you wanna know them, but you notice while your typing!

The 'z' & the caps lock!! I am forever ina day taking the caps lock off! & retyping.....Lori

I sometimes type too fast so I have lots of typos. I always correct them when I catch them but sometimes I don't take the time to read over what I am submitting. My most common errors:

the- teh
from- form
because- becasue
sometimes- sometiems
them- tehm
would- woudl
had- ahd

In fact, I just had to correct about 6 typos in the above paragraph.

I have often wondered if other folks had the same situation: recurring, no matter how hard you try, typos!

My list of "can't seem to ever get it right on the first try" words:

form instead of from

i instead of I

shoiuld, woiuld, coiuld (extra i)

you instead of your

MAjor instead of Major ( for those who don't know, that is my first name!)

instaed instead of instead (yep, I had to correct it even when doing this response!)

I also put the "e" in "the" attached to the next word, raz, like you do with "that"! e.g. I saw th edog.

Good topic here!

diecaster

PS: I have to double check "diecaster" as I often type it "diecater" the first time!

Mine seem to be similar to yours including, adding an extra "e" in words like sleep..
I am very thankful for backspace, it makes me wonder how in the world people typed years ago on the manual and they typed pretty fast.

hehe I cant help but notice that you forgot the u in would this time LOL
My big problem is forgetting to capitalise "I"
I also have a finger slip problem when typing fast
I usually get a "PO" or a "OP" when trying to type a word that has an "O" in it
Another big problem for me is apostrophes
I get thinking and typing so fast that it just slips my mind to use apostrophes
