Business and convenience, both of which I have to type in emails regularly at work. I misspell both of them in many different ways, but wouldn’t you know I got them both right on the first try this time! ---

I almost never get the word “the” right first time. Other words with a **th** cause problems too. ---

I always type ration when I really mean ratio, no idea why. Fortunately I don’t use the word much. But nearly every day at work I end up typing reslut instead of result. Leads to some interesting mental pictures. ---
