Leah-Lacie Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I don't mean words that you can't spell, but more 'typos'. If I'm typing quickly on a computer keyboard, the ones I notice the most, almost every time I type them, are 'comapre' instead of compare, and 'ornage' instead of orange, and it really, really bugs me! I know as soon as I've typed it wrong, but have to go back and change it every time! Anyone else have any repeated typo words that annoy you?

Mr Bloke Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I once remember writing a report at work about computer suage - luckily I noticed it before it got sent out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isabelle Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 'Construction', and unfortunately that one comes up quite a lot. Sometimes I make typos that make me laugh, like putting an 's' instead of a 'w' for white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bloke Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I don't know why, but I always seem to type the word "Because" as "becasue" grrr! lol That's interesting - you transposed the "s" and "u" like I did. I wonder if this is common? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been thinking whether the combination of letters is more commonly used (or sued?!) the other way round, and your brain just tells your fingers to type them like that instinctively Posted from Sheffieldforum.co.uk App for Android ---------- Post added 02-12-2012 at 11:55 ---------- 'Construction', and unfortunately that one comes up quite a lot.

And I also mistype Yorkshire sometimes in the same way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
