Do you have a regular typo ?

Just for fun, I want to know if any of you have a typographical error that you regularly make?  I have one that my fingers always type wrong and a psychiatrist would have a good time with this....

I cannot type HEALTH  without it coming out HEALTHY. Even just now when I tried to type health I added the Y on the end.... Every time I type a reference to our Health Pages I have to correct Healthy!  

Boy is that my subconscious speaking to me or what?  

So that's my burning question - does anyone else what an error like that they just can't overcome and is part of their brain now?

Be well, Lu

I need to use the word "structure" a lot, but often write "sturcture."  

Other than type-o's, I'm also awful with homonyms, and need to pause longer than I'd like to decide which is appropriate.  I often mix up your and you're.  I also sometimes mix up words that sort of sound alike, but have totally different meanings, like angles and ankles.

It's embarrassing!

Where shall I begin?  I gt the letttesr in reverse order - and sometimes leave letters off, or use too many.  For a long time, I owudl type homynyms fort he word I wnated.  Things are better than they used to be!  I don't get homynyms mixed up whti the rghit word as much any more, but as you can see, I still mix up my letters someghtni awful.

As Quix said, posting taesk me a lot longer than it used to.  I used to type 65 words a minute!  Now, not so much.

I seem to make "going" into "goings" all the time.  I type a lot of words backwards often.  Not totally backwards but I'll get the letters in reverse order.  Who doesn't do that though, right.  :)

Yup, you know it!!! Like so many on here, I too have typo's.--Mine is the word, what, (as seen on a recent post,and yup, I know I'm doing it but can't change it.  I'd make my old English teacher cringe! God rest her soul! hehe

Thanks all for sharing - especially the laughs.  We are a seriously messed up group, aren't we?  ha ha.  My former supervisor is named Brian and we regularly would laugh about the mail that would come adressed to Brain.  Spellcheckers only help so much......

Speaking of spellchecking, I don't use one for my posts here - i figure your brains cn figure out what i am typing.  kind of like our own Ms form of text messaging short hand.  :-)

be well, Lulu

I'm the same as everyone I think - transposing letters. I call it 'dyslexic typing'. My worst ones are ahve for have, brian for brain (bad in here!) and pretty much anthing -oops- anything with an 'h' followed by 'a'.

My brian hurts....:P
