• "freind" for me. Stupid brain.
• That's weird...or wierd...
• I find myself typing dropping one set of "in" in words like "maintaining". Like my fingers are taking a shortcut.
• I guess your all just stupid.
• With with my freind pete. And fuel. Even though I know it's right, it doesn't look right. Even though feul is definitely worse.
• I guess your all just stupid. Quiet over their!
• taht happens a lot in my typing. well, teher it is again. I may be right handed, by my left fingers seem to respond much more quickly.
• The word I have the most trouble with is "practice". For ages I spelled it with an 's' and even now I can't tell which way is right. My brain has a spasm when I type it. The other thing is that if I type a word I don't use much, my fingers will remember a similar, more often-used word and type that instead. I can't think of an example right now but it happens to me a lot.
• I find there are no words I can count on myself to spell correctly. *whinges*
• I used to write hellow alot.
• My dyslexia really acts up sometimes. I end up taking more time fixing than writing. Some words like heart, uselessness, all those with double d's or m's stump me. And 'teh' and 'teher' happen way too frequently... As for spellchecking when posting on the net, I rely a lot on google; 'Did you mean: whether?' Oh, yes, thanks a lot.
• I have trouble with any word that begins with a capital letter - I JUst CAn't SEem to AVoid the DOuble CAp.
• perhaps a time was onces when mokneys didn't tpype like dunces but that was long agog and far awaw and now we read what figners wrot with awe
• It's a bueatifull day in the nieghbourhood...
• Off topic, but I am including this because all these names are tough to spell... A long time ago, on Jeopardy!, the answer was "These three American cities all contain the letter 'u' three times." What are Dubuque, Albuquerque, and... The third one has escaped me, have not been able to think of it for years. Anybody know?
• "Appropirate men" made its way into a lot of emails to friends. I meant, of course, that I was having trouble finding appropriate men to date. Then I took a look at the rogues' gallery of boyfriends and decided that appropirate was the right word after all. Also, bureau.
• "Dubuque, Albuquerque, and... The third one has escaped me" There isn't another one, AFAICT.
• Ridicicouls? I hate that word. It's ridiciouls. Also, Beleif.
• Receive. Gets me ever'time. That, and when to use complement vs. compliment, or stationary vs. stationery.
• Oh, Chautauqua. Heh.
• And Tusculum.
• I can never type "myself". I always end up typing "mysql". And now you know what I do at work every day.
• And the longer I look at the right speling, the wronger it looks.
• Upudpull, Iowa.
• nunia, I find this helps me with the stationery/stationary conundrum: Stationery is a pen; Stationary's when I stand. GramMa, there's a term for that kind of feeling, but I can't remember it now. I have problems with paired vowels alot (like "friend"). And sometimes my fingers just have a mind of their own. I want to write "when", but my fingers type "with". Or worse.
• I can never type "myself". I always end up typing "mysql". Ah, yes, it's amazon how things you type a lot can take over similar words.
• Grawk, mi brane tipe werds rong. dam brane. I eet brane of hooman and no tipe beter. maibe I kum bak in fuchure and win prise. hooman brane prise. yay.
• Stationery is a pen; Stationary's when I stand. There are no stationary stores in the Wriggly building! And of course when typing bananananana, you have to know when to stop.
• I often leave the final 't' off of "thought," leaving it "though." I also read and write phonetically (and sometimes very fast), so homophones are a fucking minefield for me.
• I eet brane of hooman and no tipe beter. Watch out for kuru.
• For me, "people," "institution," and "weird" are my bugaboos. Oh, and "health." I used to work at an organization that had the word "health" in it so I had to type it (incorrectly) quite a bit. Always came out "helath" first time 'round.
• Oh I also have trouble with the CApitalization PRoblem. For some reason my little finger on the left hand side is hanging just that bit longer of late.
• MonkeyFilter: homophones are a fucking minefield for me I can hardly bare it!
• My Mum always wrote 'bottam' for bottom. And I can never get 'seperate' ('separate'?) right. And I thought 'misled' was pronouced MY-zuld for years.
• For some damn reason I keep adding an extra i into "survivie". Oops.
• Is ometimesh ave ap roblemc oordinatingm yt humbsw itht her esto fm yf ingers.
• peon has posted 0 links and 1 comments on MonkeyFilter since August 08, 2005." Wow. That's some quality lurking there, peon. Almost made it a year. Welcome to the Monkey House!
• I have that same problem, peon. My brain knows all the letters in the word, and it's like my fingers can't get them down in the right order so they just slam them all on the page in a big blob. I lurked for the better part of a year. Just didn't register at the beginning of it :)
• Again, I blame my fingers for always typing serach. serach. serach! carp.
• I have problems with a lot of words. As my fingers all hit the keyboard at the same time, a lot of the time. Like, 'shower' always comes out 'whoer' for some reason. Consistently. And sometimes I end up with the beginning of one word + the end of the next word, just leaving out the middle. Also terrible trouble with words like exercise and license that have the same sound repeated, but spelled differently. Cheese, for some reason. My fingers think it's got too many e's, it always ends up chees.
• Oh that was the other word I always stuff up "serach"!
• MonkeyFilter: I have problems with a lot of words.
