    Your worst spelling error online.

    So when one is typing which phrase or word does one usually mess up?

    I never seem to get 'from' right...it always comes out as 'form'...people understand it, but it gets annoying ><

    I'd have to say that from - form thing, also.

    Grin Hoo boy.

    I get common things like the form/from thing and teh liek (sic), but I also get a lot of really bizarre mistakes wehn I type quickly (which is often ).
    Some of my personal favourites are a total butchering of "necessarily" (something like "nesseccarliy") and "thanks" (something like "hjtnajsk") as well as "gnopig" for "going", which I also mess up frequently.
    I disable signatures. Killjoy.

    "Disk" often turns into the penis word (it did when I typed it just now, in fact).

    The other day I typed "Fush" (a friend's nickname) and it came out as the f-word.

    And one time when I was chatting with my boyfriend I meant to say something was NOT this way but I forgot the "not" and I think it made it sound like I was saying he had a small penis or something.

    Not online, but I once made a pretty bad typo in a history paper on poverty in early 20th Century New York. My teacher circled and put a question mark next to my description of "the poop people of New York."

    I make typing mistakes when I'm speaking.

    I have these two friends, one named Tian and one named Tina. It gets pretty confusing and bad when I type the wrong name at the wrong time to the wrong person, because I'm dating one of them and the other one's here best friend.

    sec - sex is always amusing, especially as the letters are next to each other on the keyboard so it's an easy mistake.

    My favourite typo is one that happened in a conversation that a gay friend of mine was having. His friend said "You have to lick the attachment" instead of click xD I love that typo.

    Humerous. *sigh*

    It's not a typo - I hardly make those. It's a simple spelling error.

    I often hit keys that are too close to the keys I mean to hit.

    Whenever I type for a long period of time my fingers seem to forget what they are doing and I end up typoing a lot. So by the time I get to the end of an essay my typing looks like - fadjsfklafs;jaskdfj. Then I have to go back and click on the little red lines in Word.
