I do, my main one is the our, I always type it are, unsure why, my fingers go faster than my brain sometimes, years of typing classes I guess. Do you have one?? I have several others. Like do you ever misspell your OWN NAME?? I do it all the time, just a simple typo but it happens 80% of the time.

I'm always sticking "e"s on things that it doesn't belong to. "Son" becomes "sone" for example. I also typo things so letters are turned around & once turned around, I seem to have a hard time fixing it. Other than that, I can't spell well anyway, & if I find a word that I can't seem to get right, I'll try & find a different word to suit.

Responsibility. I know how to spell it...but for some reason, if I do not type slow, I will always spell it wrong! LOL Good thing for spell check, because otherwise, I would have way too many typos. hehe

Based on another discussion you posted, my husband was wondering if your name is Barbara. I can see how that would be easy to mistype. I cannot tell you exactly what I miss type. I know words that end in ing I frenquently type in, and then put the g with the next word, does that make sense. Another one I just did, I type work for the word *word*.

No, I'm not Barbara, my name is actually Lori. But back to the discussion, I do that too with ing but I usually type ign, seems sometimes I have deslexia sometimes when I get going too fast for my fingers to register to my brain. Have a great day

One of my interests is Grey's Anatomy. For some reason when I type the word "Meredith", the first thing that comes out is "Mereditch" and I have to backspace and retype. Sometimes I type "their" instead of "there". I KNOW the difference and I'm appalled when I re-read something and see I did that, but like you say, it's probably just brain speed over finger speed.

I know everyone does it, it is very common in the typing world, just drives me crazy cause most of the time I don't preview my comments before typing them, and when I read over them I always get myself in "what was I thinking?" Thanks for contribting.

There are some words I just don't seem to be able to TYPE correctly (the first time) no matter how aware of them I am. The word "orange" always comes out "ornage," unless I listerally stop and punch it in with on finger. I have a dear friend named Barbara, and it always comes out "Barabara," until I go back and correct it. The word I always struggle with (in terms of actually spelling) is "collectable." I never can remember whether the object is a "collectable" or the attribute is "collectable." Right at this moment, I believe that "a collectible is collectable," but by tomorrow, I'll have a different opinion....

There are so many words that I misspell no matter what I do. My only hope is a spell checker or a dictionary. I think of a nice word to use in my discussion or response and have to go to a much simpler word because I can't spell the stupid word.
