Word you always mis-type (lite post)

Lite is acceptable. Think yogurt

This is highly ironic given my field of study and 75% of my SDMB posts, but I find that “Shakespeare” is a terribly difficult name to type. “Shakespearean” is even worse. :wink:

Oh yes! I was writing a PhD about Shakey too, but could never type it. Sometimes I’d just copy and paste the troublesome word. Pregnant always got an extra letter too, so that I was preganant and writing somethin that invloves Shakesperae. :rolleyes:

I mistype their/they’re/there a lot. I completely understand how these words are supposed to be used, really I do. But I type quite fast, and sometimes my fingers work faster than my brain. It’s as if I hear the sound of the word in my mind and this controls the movements of my fingers without stopping to consider which spelling should be used.

Type “power”.

Rolls right out, don’t it?

:rolleyes:

I hate typing the name Joseph. I always mess it up.

Also, I’m in the insurance industry, and too often I type “insuracne”. I turn a financial product into an adolescent skin condition.

teh is annoying when you’re typing on here and there’s no autocorrect. Sometimes I find my left hand works faster (or slower) than the right one.

However, the single most annoying ‘typo’ is missing the tab key (esp. when you’re filling in a form) and hitting ‘caps lock’.

serious lurker here

But I had to chime in. I am also in the ‘insurance’ world and I ALWAYS type “insuracne” :rolleyes: How weird is that?

I’m also always spelling beleive wrong <----see? as well as 'because"…it always comes out “becasue”

sigh
oh…waves hi all :smiley:

“Fresh” always comes out “freash.” That pesky a just wants to get in there every damn time.

“Out” and “put” are bad ones for me as the beginning letters of each word are adjacent to one another. Even worse is that the spell checker won’t catch it. I have a similar problem with “string” and “strong.”

Words like “didn’t”, “shouldn’t”, etc. will come out looking like “didn;t” and “shouldn;t”.

I’m also bad with “jsut”, “taht” and “teh”. Before I used Word with its auto-correct features I had problems with rEVERSED cASE and DOuble CApitals at the beginning of sentences. I also thought I was the only one who had trouble with “exaggerate” coming out with two x’s and one g.

Detriot, the city in Michigan that’s home to the US car companies.

This probably isn’t a common one :slight_smile: , but it happens to me almost daily. “Kernersville” tends to come out as “Kernersvile”. I wonder if I have some kind of subconscious grudge against that town.

becasue
because

Once I typed convience instead of convenience and severely beat myself up for it. I HATE when people spell it “convience”. Gah!

I do htis all teh tiem, liek tihs is waht half of my sentences look liek on chat progarms, when I am too lzay to fix htem.

Okay, so maybe not that extreme.

But I love when my fingers get moved over a key and I wind up quickly typing a whole sentence like “di tiy wamt ti gi ti tje stire?” That amuses me.

Any word with -ing comes out -ign. T and H get switched a lot.

I think my most common typo is typing “.xom” instead of “.com” in URLs. It annoys the hell out of me, because I always hit enter before catching it then get an error message while I’m trying to correct it.

Another becasue-er coming through.

I must have a mental block when it comes to typing the word public - [for the record I had to stop typing with two hands to hunt and peck out that word correctly]. I’m always leaving out the l, which can be pretty funny at times. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve caught the phrases pubic school, pubic transportation and pubic policy in my writing. Sometimes, I think it would be more interesting if the word was supposed to be pubic in the first place.

Length generally comes out lenghth. I just did it in another thread.

Form instead of from. I do it so often, after finishing a piece I do a word search on 'em.
