Too many to list here. But when I’m using a word processing program, Word or WordPerfect, there’s that _wonderful_ little feature called AutoCorrect where I just put in the mistyped word and its correct spelling, and voila! No more mistyped word, even if my fingers still move wrong! ---

Exxagerate. Every bloody time, the damn letter X wants in on the double letter action. ---

I transpose badly, but it seems like “because” is impossible. Always comes out “becuase”. I’ve gotten to where I don’t even bother to correct it anymore. Actually, the one I had trouble with in this particular post was “transpose”. Came out trapsone, transopse and trasnpose before I finally got it right! Damn my fingers! ---

I’m a transpsoer, too. My worst one is j-u-s-t. Always comes out jsut. Hey, maybe I should keep typing those dashes in between and that would jsut…nah. ---

Another transposer here. It happens most often with the word “anything”. (But anyhting taht can be trapsnosed, eventulaly I’ll trasnopse it!) ---

:smack:That would be **transposer**. And I didn’t do that on purpose! Maybe my worst one is transposer. ---
