Thread: Most Common Typos

  1. #1

    Default Most Common Typos

    Now, we've all been typing on the computer for a while now, and I'd warrant we all make mistakes every once in a while with what we type. What have you noticed are your most common typos? Is it a word you always spell incorrectly, a word you always seem to leave out or a word you type too fast and it always seems to come out backward?

    For me, I've recently noticed that I often type things that end in "ing" with "ign" for some reason such as: "somethign" instead of "something". This is probably due to the fact that I type with two fingers and still stare at the keyboard whenever I type something and only catch my typos when I review what I've written.

    How about all of you good folks?

    Take care all.

    "Teh" is an obvious one.

    I also have to be careful when typing "disk" because it almost invariably comes out "dick." That's because I have a friend named Dick though, not because I'm perverted.

    Also, the 'x' is too close to the 'c', which makes it hard to type "sec."

    ing's usually get me the most. Other than that I have trouble with doesn't / does'nt.
    The is a problem too but everyone just things you are being 'cool' cause you spell it teh. . . . for me - it's always a typo.

    Since I am perfect, I never have typos. The only typing mistakes I ever make is simply typing something different than what I mean. I don't misspell anything, I just type the wrong word. Like, I remember I was talking about RA Dickey, a pitcher for the Rangers, when I typed:

    "Of course he's a starting pitcher. He once threw 185 innings in a college game."

    Obviously, this is impossible, I actually meant, "He once threw 185 pitches in a college game." However, I just naturally typed the wrong thing.

    But I never type "teh" or "ign" or anything like that.

    hm. lessee.

    I can remember my best typo, but that's not a common one. It was bel; instead of be.

    sometimes I type quit as quti, but not often.

    not too many typos really, although I had a tough time typing typo back there. oh, and I typoed typing as typoing. xD

    and there's *nods* being typed as *ndos* or *nods8 or at best *ndos8

    That's not what your "Horniest Member" Ciddie (Dec, 2003) says.

    I don't make a bunch of typos, but I usually do have my sentences end with a "\" on occasions.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Just because her perversion doesn't cause her to type 'dick' doesn't mean it doesn't cause her to do other things.

    Sometimes if i'm typing about the band "Tool" it comes out "overrated," but those keys are just so damn close together.

    As the apostrophe and enter keys are next to each other, I often type something like, "I don
    t need to go just yet."

    I was drinking tea when I read that and I nearly spit it out laughing.
