Typing "glitches"

[rustylady]

Okay, try this one HW!

It's prttey fnuny how we can raed tihs einrte snetnece with all tehse ltters all out of palce, and we can cnotniue to keep raednig and still mekas snece of waht we are raednig. No mttar howmnay tmies you raed tihs oevr and oevr you can still mkae snece of it. How is taht pssoible?

Heavens, Zebedee - how long did it take you to get that typed. They always say it's harder to deliberately type things wrong just like Les Dawson must have been a really good pianist to make such a hash of playing the piano for his stage shows.

As a well-trained touch typist I don't look at the keyboard, and if I'm copy typing don't look at the screen that often either. It's a bu***r when you do look and then find you've had your fingers over the wrong keys. Thank goodness for Microsoft Office which gives you red wiggly lines under words that don't fit!! One prob, though, it will let through words which are mis-spelt if they are "real" words.

That happens to other people who use my keyboard - most of the letters have worn off!!!

I always have to read through, check and change when I type becasue, becasue I always spell it like that!

I used to have a stupid American spell cheque Americans do no know how to spill!

BW - I've just spent the last few minutes transcribing your message ...only to realize that your next comments were your own transcription!!!!

Yep - I often hit the key next to the one I want- but I really am useless at spelling too- so no excuses!

Rustylady....how on earth can you not look at the keyboard????? I have to watch every letter but am proud to say that I now type with 2 fingers and press the space bar with my thumb!!
( also manage to type now without the help of my tongue being chewed too!!!!!)

Progress, progress!!!!

Guessing here but I reckon most of the errors described here are down to, like myself, being a two fingered typist, especially the transcribed letters.

Two? I only use one!
The only time I use a second finger is for CAPS key, Alt & Ctl.

typing is a funny thing - I'm a pretty fast fingered lass but the minute someone stands over me (watching) my fingers turn to courgettes

I'm with Piskie - very fast at touch typing when alone, but when there's a witness about .... and my problems are with 'teh' as well, and putting the first letter of the second word onto the end of the first word - so ... puttingt he firstl etter of thes econd word .. you get my gist?! Also seem to have trouble with any word ending 'ment' which often becomes 'mnet' instead. Hey ho!!
