    Words I always type wrongly.

    Always get these wrong - and some of them don't even show up on spellcheck.

    confirm/conform - my major problem. the 'i' is so close to the 'o' that it's a always happening, and the fact that the typo is a real word means it slips under the wire so, so many times.

    Traing/training. My mind sees the first 'in' and thinks it's all over. Unfortunately not.

    Response. I'm always missing out the first 's'.

    Ethipia. Fuck - fingers like pigs' tits on this one. I know how it's meant to be but i just can't get it right. A particular problem if one is working in East Africa.

    If it wasn't for these I'd be typing at 3 squillion words a minute.

    Thankfully I don't really work with anyone called anything similar to Alsion at the moment.

            For some reason on this keyboard, 'in the' becomes 'int he'.

              I've always had a problem with "with" becoming "withe". I used to do this while writing, and it has followed me onto the keyboard.

              Also, in sympathy with the work related problems of Ethipia and insruance above, I regularly type flroist or florsit, which in my job is a very regular word to use.

                Finanical

                About 3,000 times a day. Word used to have an autocorrect but it's missing from my latest version.

                And also: writing 'the' as 'ht' and tacking the e onto the beginning of the next word, as in: ht efinanical.

                    and fill in the Replace text as you type fields.


                    Separate is the one I always get wrong.

                              There is no e in assistant.

                              There is, however, in the equivalent word in many other languages.

                                Probably best that you don't type that into a search engine, I guess.

                                There was somebody on here who, when trying to write 'opposite', used to type 'poopsite' - which I imagine returned all kinds of delights on Google...

                                          University of Manchester emails were studnet.man.ac.uk when I was there too, SP. (I just typed 'Universoty', there, although it's not a problem normally it did seem fitting for this thread.)

                                            We didn't have student emails when I was at the University of Manchester. You're all very young.

                                            (Well, I suppose the kids in the Computer Science department might have done).

                                              Wesdenday, I mean Wendesday, Wednesdsay, whatever. I know how it's spelt, but I type it wrong every single time.
