Do You Always Type The Word Friends Wrong?

No matter how many times I type this word I always type Freind. Now my brain knows to spell this word. My fingers should know how to type it too. Why do I keep doing this?

I notice that when I mistype a word, I tend to mistype it over and over. I play Lingo on gsn.com sometimes and "youth" is a word that comes up quite a bit. I always type it "youtt" and I don't have a clue why, but I mistyped it the first time it came up and now I always type it that same way and have to go back and change it. Weird how the brain works, huh?

That makes a lot sense then. I am sure the first time I typed friend it was mispelled and has been ever since

Hmmm... Can't say that I have that problem. I usually type it out correctly. Friend. Friends. Friend. Yep, no problems here. Maybe your fingers just can't keep up with your brain. LOL I tend to have the opposite problem. My brain usually can't keep up with my fingers!

Beats me, the only thing that I can think of that might be causing it though, is unconsciously you do know what letters are needed to spell friend and the 'r' is next to the 'e' maybe it is nothing more than just a speed error...SS

I am not that fast anyway, but even if I slow down and even look at the keys I still do it. My brain must have imbedded in it to mispell this one word. LOL

Our brain capacity and the finger's speed is not working at the exact same speed. that's why you have a conflict of movement from your fingers. It means your fingers are confused because your brain moves faster. I too often do these types of mistakes. For example when typing weird I will type wierd, things like that.

When you type faster then some mistakes occur may be this is one such mistake of fast typing.

I usually end up with the word friends typed correctly, because I am good with those keys. However, if I am moving fast, there are times when I will hit the 't' and bunch of times when it was supposed to be a 'r'. Those two are my problematic keys. In your case, I think your left hand wants to get to the 'e' after you type the 'r', before your right hand can get to the 'i'.

ya i personally feel its due when we are frenzy of typing and also arrangement of keys E and R on keyboard being close to each other results in such occurence .......... freind .. friend .. oops sorry for mistake!!!!!!

I usually don't spell friend wrong but I do have certain words that no mater what I always spell wrong on the computer. The 2 words I spell wrong most often are "the" and "like". I dunno why I do this but I just do! =)

There are certain words that we always type wrong, one of them is friends, the other one is your name and the most common one is the "and". I have been typing longer than I can remember and no matter what you do to correct these spellings you have a hard time doing it, the experts recommending repeating typing of these words to correct your mistakes and perhaps that works, but who has time for such these days ...
