My fingers betray my usually acute spelling sense

I think I am being so careful, but when I am quoted, there are certain words that are always spelled wrong. My internal spelling buddy has just about had it with me

My fingers are dyslexic

yuo


Anyone else have this problem?

Mine are usuallt typos. But I am also capable of misspelling too.
I will forgive yours if you will do likewise.
 
after copious amounts of tequila (or scotch) yes.

sometimes its actually funny.
 
All the time, it's worse in the mornings but can happen at all times of the day.

I type for a living which makes it more embarassing!
 
I spell pretty well but type poorly. I can be the victim of my own poor editing, too.

Oh well.

See?
I'm hopeless

Aww... It's such a small thing. You have so many more things to offer. I like it actually. It shows you are merely close to perfection as opposed to perfect.

Can chip away at your professional prowess if you aren't good at proofreading
By the way, was your name a typo or intentionally lacking a "t"?

My typing is impeccable.

IF I sea I Spelt a word uncorectly, i will change it b4 I his sumbit post. Butt sometimes I don't catch, it, and could give a rats ass if i spelled or punctuated correctly.
 
I'm a better typist than speller, and I do try to catch the bad ones, but sometimes, well . . .
 
Typing

I type with one hand only.

I use my left hand for making capitals and other things........



JABO(no compassion)
 
Oh yes.

From ny first paper in college to my PHd, if I don't go back and check, I am betrayed by my thick strong fingers. But they are good for other things!:devil:
 
the uo think is because you use your pointer finger for the u and your ring finger for the o. The pointer is more prehensile and thus more responsive and more use to being used. It can hit it faster.
 
It's a dyslexic disconnect coupled with the fact that my right hand is faster than my left.

Quite advantageous when jacking off. I can start with the left and switch to the right and gain a stroke. :p :p :p
