Consistency in typos
What is it about some words which refuse to be written the right way the first time around? My fingers seem to have learnt how to type them wrong everytime I try. I am not talking just typos, I am talking consistency in typos.
How many people can boast of typing related as realted every time they try to do it? Or consistently using 's' when I want 'd' making wouls've and couls've and sanselion. (Well, I don't type dandelion all that much, but used it to illustrate my point.) Then there is because. I invariably type it as beacuse, I have no idea why. So I've learnt to do bcos most of the time. Then there's the normal 'adn, teh' - which I think half the population suffers from. 'waht' for 'what'; 'wehn' for 'when'; 'taht' for 'that' - that's the H syndrome.
I can't let this be without mentioning the 'ck' mix. For example, most of the time 'smack' is 'smakc' or even 'smcak'. There's just something wrong about the placement of c and k on the keyboard. The same with b and v, x and c, k and l, a and s, q and w, g and h...

A word of advice from the only afficionado of grammar on fullhydblogs.com: Use a good keyboard (not the ones that cost 300-400 bucks but somewhere in the range of 1300 bucks). Your typos will come down dramatically. Why? Because since you spent so much anyway, your deep-seated miserly psyche takes over and you get value for money.

It's not the keyboard Script Writer, it's the fingers. I do have a good keyboard. :)

Again, please re-read the last sentence of my comment.

My deep-seated (?) miserly psyche refuses to function.
