What's Yuor Typo?

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.

So c’mon Dopers, 'fess up. What’s yours?

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!

And yes, I’m a great speller but a lousy typist.

I loe you.

For some reason I keep dropping the “v.”

I don’t have any one typo that I repeatedly use. Except when I go to type “typo”, I always want to type “type” instead.

Thanks Euty. I’m flattered, but I don’t think it would work out. :smiley:

I loe you too, Euty.

I make typos. Tons of them. Too many to list.

Teh is one of mine, and anyone who talks to me in chat notices I almost always type hye instead of hey…I have even spread that one to friends of mine…

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. :slight_smile:

Twiddle

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.

yopu (you)

withe (with the)

Why shoudl I tell yopu? Teh nerve!

teh for the.

Unimaginative bastard, aren’t I?

I see so many of mine here:
teh
yopu or ytou
jsut

For some reason, I’ll swap “w” and “s” when I’m going too fast. I’ll aslo do “tot he” for to the…

I’ve always contended that creative people don’t have time to bother with the details…

You’re not buying it either, are you???

I often type “ot” instead of “to”.

thier instead of their

'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 tend to insert spaces wrong:
“th e only on eto got here” was supposed to be “the only one to go there.”

mcuh for much, because my hands refuse to cooperate.

I’m also incapable of spelling shadow without consciously stopping my self from writing “shawdo”. typing and writing.

I have numerous personal typos, but my biggies are thay for they, and thae for the. I like a’s.

For me, going always turns into gong

hotle instead of hotel - every single time I type it.

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
ti
thier

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

Aha! An excuse not to preveiw!
