I hate it that I keep typing "their" instead of "there" and vice versa

[UndertheOcean]

curiously enough : I never get those brain farts when I am writing with a pen, only on a keyboard does this happen.

(I wrote pin instead of pen above and had to correct it : ARRRRGH !!!!! )

It is like I have keyboard dyslexia.

Anyone else shares this problem or are you all keyboard bards ?

7. I was going to post that.

Some people do not know the difference between it's and its. It's is the conjunction of it is and its is the possessive form.

2. Their, their. Their, their now. n/t

[Denninmi]

3. There, there, there, it'll be ok.

I do the same all of the time. I think that spellcheck is doing to our English language skills what tv has done to our wastelines, making them flabby.

10. I can type faster than I can think

I think my fingers must have their own tiny little brains

[aikoaiko]

11. the faster and/or emotional I type, the more likely I am to type homophones or near homophones

of the word I intend to type.

It is particularly embarrassing when I'm in full rant mode.

12. There's no they're their. . . n/t

13. Past and passed

I caught it before I turned in the paper,
but it made me wonder how many times I made that mistake and didn't catch it.

:blush:
