Am I the only one who dreads these words?

About 50% of the time, I screw it up and have to re-type re-type again. :mad:

[color]I am a poet. [/color]

I cannot mix numbers and letters together in a row like that.

My numbers become letters in my brain without my knowledge. :rolleyes:

2's become B's as B is the 2nd letter in the alphabet
1's become L
8 is also a B

Is it really necessary to have to type it in every time? :confused:

I think it is making my numerical dyslexia even worse.


Am I the only one???
 
nope, you arent the only one, mine does that too, but I also have another strange number thing I do.

sometimes I might get a number stuck in my head, it is always an odd number, and then when words get thrown in the mix, especially if I am nervous, I find myself trying to fit that word into my number pattern at that time and count on my fingers like from the pinky to the index and back to the pinky if its a seven letter word...and sometimes it lasts for hours and sometimes the fixation lasts for days, especially if its a really weird word..also, they never seem to go higher than 17:confused:


can you diagnose that? :rose: i d be grateful
 
I voted monkey

OH MY GOD! Finally, I'm not alone! I hate it. It's pointless! I almost started a thread about it but didn't. I cringe when I have to do type in those damned letters and numbers. I want to comment and move on and not be delayed by mindless nonsense! Damn! I'm so riled up over this. Calm me down, someone.
 
I fuck it up about half the time
But then I get to use colorful language so...it's wash
 
thermometer... annoying
security code... annoying


being able to rip a poem to shreds... priceless. HAhahahah! :D
 
I type in weird shit all day. No problem. Part numbers, passcodes, dirty words, etc....:p

what he said. just once more little of life's jeering little annoyances that i try to ignore.
 
I just look at at something between a zip code and an area code-

but with letters added. Sort of how the Brits do it.

(hardly an endorsement):)
 
no problems... numbers have been my life for far too long... probably why i'm all the hots for words these last years. hence -- poetry.
 
i voted when i only type with 1 hand.

since i only have 1 hand, i can blame it on all my typing fudges!:D

So, if you start typing with your toes, then it means you're doing something naughty with the hand, right? ;)
 
Damn! I think it is an even tie!

There goes my plan to show the results to Laurel and beg my case!


errrr you darn people who can get your left and right brains to work together!

:D

my corpus collosum is pretty much pointless as both hemispheres seem to be mixed up anyway.

thanks for taking the poll

I have to go feed my monkey. Looks like he is here to stay

:heart:
