Do you ever type and a different word comes out?
I use to type 100 words per minute when I worked in an office.

I would type so fast the factory would call the main office where I was at and tell me to slow down that they couldn't pull the orders that fast.

When I type sometimes I type the wrong word without realizing it until it's too late to change my message. I also will look at the message and it looks like everything is spelled right but it's the wrong word.


Example:

Word , Work
Is, It

Well, you know what I mean. I type pretty fast and sometimes I type the wrong word if someone is talking in the background while I am typing.

1. Yeah, I hate that too.
And a spell checker won't even catch it, because it's the wrong word spelled right!

GRRR

5. There's a word that's very similar to my last name.
I always have to slow down and peck it one letter at a time.

Also, I commonly forget to finish the words "you'll" "you've" and "you're". It comes out "you"...

6. All the time
Sometimes I go to type Bush and cowardly, AWOL, Jesus-simple, murderous, spoiled, smug, arrogant, hypocritical, lying piece of human shit comes out.

And you know, Auto-Correct just can't handle that kind of typo.

10. I Wish You Could Remove Words from the Spell Check Dictionary
Let's say when you type "from", it often comes out "form." Personally, I would like to check to verify that every time "form" appears in one of my documents to make sure it's the right word.

But you can't do that. At least I don't think so.

11. Constantly.
What I do like about typing on computers as compared to typewriters, is that corrections are vastly easier. Mistakes do still slip by, however.
