Does anyone else makes as many typos as I do and miss the darned thing?

Lol. Do it all the time. I proof read and catch a few of them but I usually spot them after I hit the send button. I wish we were able to go back and edit them here for stuff like that. Usually I skip the last letter of a word or sometimes miss a whole word. It is because I think a whole lot faster than I type. It is frustrating though when you have an intelligent comment to make and then a typo makes your post come off stupid.

dont feel bad, i make plenty but i dont worry about it. i might have some will tell me about it, or try to make fun of me. but it's like oh well we're not graded or paid for being right all the time

I don't know if I make as many as you do, but I do make them. No matter how many times I proofread my posts, I almost always find at least one mistake after I hit the submit button. It drives me crazy and makes me wish that we had an edit button on here so that we could fix our mistakes. But I know that isn't going to happen. All we can do is be a little more careful next time around. Happy mylotting!

Hi Hatley, I hope I don't make too many typos. I know you have the habit but I always understand what you are saying and haven't found you coming out with utter nonsense at all. I'm using a lap top these days and don't find the keypad as good as a larger one and find quite often letters disappear upwards into other words, but I think it's sticking a bit, probably due to a bit of yogurt somewhere in the keyboard. Or it could have been the honey that went in the yogurt. But if I do make a typo it is exactly that as my spelling and typing speeds are excellent. Funnily enough I did once make a glaring error in a title. I typed 'why does pizza come in round boxes?' when obviously I meant to say square. But as everyone of course expected the question to end with square not one single person noticed my error.

Hello my friend Funny you should mention this, I posted a response today but for some reason it did not go through so I had to go back and resend, well to my horror the post was sent twice and made absolutely no sense, how embarrassing is that not only to make a few mistakes but to post the post twice like once would not have been enough lol I know how you feel but don't worry your post always look good to me.smoochess my friend. My eyes are playing tricks on me been here too long if I don't leave soon no telling what you will see in my post.

ya i have also faced, i dont think it would matter , if the message you give is communicated to everyone, because "yuo can raed tihs snetnece aslo, if the frsit and lsat lteter are eaxct in tehm".....

I've noticed a lot from you lately...I thought there must be something wrong with your keyboard...

I have made my fair share of typing errors here at Mylot also. I get in such a hurry at times and do not go back to proof read alot of times. My fingers get jumbled up on the keyboard at times also.

Well i make typos at mylot but, i always see the ones i make, i make my typos when i type fast, i just can't help typing fast, but at least i always catch them as i make them, and by the way, i made a couple as i was writing this post.

I make them ALL the time Hatley so don't feel so along for you're not!! I'm able to correct most of them thanks to firefox which alerts me to a misspelled word but it doesn't tell me when something doesn't sound right and it's hard to make everything make perfect sense but thanks to most of us, who are able to decipher what the meaning is behind all that jibber jabber. LOL

It happens to the best of us and its a bit embarrassing. At least I make it a policy not to be picky about common mistakes in typing here and there. And this reminds me to get my spell checker set up for Opera, so I guess I'll go do that.

I think the typo bug affects us all, my friend It's okay, as I am so used to making typos that I find that I have learned to read other peoples typos without noticing that there is a typo

i do it a lot. most of mine tho is mispelled words. usually i do try to go back and add something about the mess but its sometimes ridiculously late for the corrections. so i dont think your alone.

Yes. My fingers are dyslexic or so that is what I call it. Those years of typing class were no help

I don't make that many typos, but it does seem as if the ones that slip by me only get seen after I've posted the response.

I do that all the time too. I can check and re-check, but it always seems that I miss something. As I am sitting here typing this, I have already had to bacckspace and correct myself about 12 times! At least, this time, I am catchign my mistakes before I submit.

Isn't it funny that you can carefully type your question or response, re-read it a couple of times for typos, post it and BLAMMO! there they are! It's actually not us making all those silly mistakes. It is really an electronic issue. All messages must jump on an e-trampoline between being sent and being posted. Like children lining up in the school yard, some of those silly letters just don't get back in line correctly. I wouldn't worry about it, it seems to happen to everyone.

Oh it happens to everyone so don't bother about it too much. However, if you feel you are getting too many typos, then its better to preview at least twice carefully before you post it, not because anyone's going to comment or laugh, but for your own good so that you'll learn to be more careful. I personally think that happens mostly because your mind runs faster than you fingers and in the process your typing gets lost on the way, if you know what I mean.

It happens a lot of times and not only here in mylot. I guess even with computer and being good at spelling shows that we are human lol. We cant erase the fact that sometimes, no matter how you proofread, there are things we didn't foresee. So it's like horror when you found out that the posted comments or discussion you made has a lot of typos. I am with you for this---making us humans hehe.

This happens to everyone, with practice typing on the keyboard you will get more experience and commit less typos. Now after several years typing on the computer every single day I can typ fast and almost make no typos. My English is not perfect though so I may type something that I think is correct then it may be wrong.
