I’m continually frustrated with myself for making the same typos over and over. It’s a frightening insight into the way my brain works.
I am completely incapable of typing the word pancakes correctly at the first attempt. It always comes out as pankaces. Also Olympic is more often than not Olypmic. I’m kinda lucky in that these are not words I feel a burning need to use daily. But wil for will is my constant companion.
My two worst ones are teh for the and Chpater for Chapter (I’m a copyeditor, so that one comes up a lot.) I refuse to use “autocorrect,” though – I need to find them myself and see how often I do them, so I can try to stop!
I invariably type jsut. And alwyas. I’m never sure if it is because my brain moves faster than my fingers, or because of a synapse that wasn’t developed in my formative years.
Teh otehr dya… Smoe of my fingers move faster than otehrs and I end up with letters swithced around seven ways to sunday, especially when there’s an H involved.
'cuz, ya see, the e and the r are right next to each other on the keyboard, so obviously they belong next to each other in any word I might type. ::sigh:: And the sucky thing is, is that it doesn’t look like a typo, it just looks like I’m an idiot that can’t spell.
I also reverse two letter words all the time:
ot
ti
si
fo
(ect.)
I had a long run where “this” always came out “shit” - I have no idea why. It was when I was working in tech support. Maybe that explains a lot.
Teh

If I just start typing a random paratgraph withougt looking at the ikeyboard and onlyh hapharzardly at the screen it looks quite a bit like this o9nel. Danmit
