The keyboard pixies keep moving my letters around..

I am finding that the keyboard pixies have become more active lately, i have never been able to type the word availability without retyping it, but now I find I have to retype it twice before the pixies' work is undone properly. I regularly sign emails off with 'Regrads' instead of regards, my spell-check is frankly getting a little tired of my repetitive mistakes... What is the word that you mis-spell the most? And is it my imagination or do those pixies become more active as time goes on (as obviously it's nothing to do with hitting a certain age....)

Ah those darn things. And, here I thought it was me abusing my keyboard with constant use. Well I can't pinpoint exactly how often I misspell a word, but its usually a more complex word that I might have trouble with. Believe it or not I can't see the words as I'm typing them, so I had a difficult time learning to spell. I know I shouldn't make excuses, but that's the truth. Despite having a screen reader I can only do so much.

Well at least you have a good excuse - complex words are one thing, but I find that many people have certain words which though the word may not be complex, they just keep typing letters in the wrong order. Or is it the pixies??
