For some reason I always seem to type the following words incorrectly at work: acocunt for account palelts for pallets cerated for created And I often mistype my own name on emails - Megna or Megn instead of Megan The top one is a bit of a problem if I'm sending an email to a customer about their "acocunt"!  I used to have a customer whose name I would sometimes mis-type. I don't want to type it out properly here in case it comes up in a google search. But her first name is short for E l i z a b e t h, and her last name is C o x. Sometimes I would accidentally type "L i x C o x". The first time I did it I luckily caught it before hitting send. When I told her about it she just laughed, and said it happens all the time. For some reason I have got into a terrible habit of hitting the ; key instead of the ' key, so all of my contractions look like this: didn;t it;s can;t And for some unknown reason, my MacBook always autocorrects contractions to add a ;t on the end, for example wouldn't;t and didn't;t. ETA: I just worked out that it is correcting my typo didn;t to didn't;t. DUH! It's only taken me two years to work that out! So does anyone else have any repeated or funny/rude typos? |

Restraunt & suprise
I type it incorrectly so often I’m not even sure I’d recognize the correct spelling. 😂

Becasue instead of because. I do it so often my auto correct has learned it, and doesn't highlight it anymore.

On my phone if I'm reaching for the space with my right thumb I often hit the n so I have 2 words together with an n between them, sonfrustrating. |

I was adding it to the grocery list and could not remember.
When I'm typing a response my go to their, they're, there is their. Every single time. I know the difference! I typically edit my posts more than once.

The way I remember that is rest-AU-rant. Whenever I spell or type it out I'm saying that to myself. |

Historically I have always had a hard time with restaurant and definitely (spelled it "definately" forever - that's actually how I thought it was spelled when I was in my 20s, I had to have a coworker/friend point it out to me) - now for work I have to type difficult words such as rheumatology (and others) and at this point I don't even try lol.

Studnet for student - less of an issue now that I am not teaching
becasue instead of because (which I just typed beacuse! LOL)
alos for also
I also have a habit of capitalising both the first and second letter of words - I obviously don't get my finger off the shift key fast enough.

Thanky ou.....every.single.time. That reminds me of another one I do all the time on work emails...... Thanks you instead of thank you. Almost every single time. I also have a habit of capitalising both the first and second letter of words - I obviously don't get my finger off the shift key fast enough. Yes I do too! I often finish my emails with REgards, MEgan. That's if I'm not typing my name as Megna.  |

Lots of words. I'm saying in my head "don't type it incorrectly" and blow me, on the screen will be the wrong spelling. I know some is autocorrect trying to be helpful. Pah.
One word I always read incorrectly is Shopfitters. If a van goes past with that on the side, I always, in my head say Shoplifters.

So many things, all the time. There's a reason for what I wrote in my signature! (there's one word). Definitely is one that I always, always get wrong and I always spell it so badly that autocorrect always thinks I'm trying to spell defiantly. (another word I can't spell). I also manage to get the vowels wrong in calendar every single time. Thank goodness for Grammerly.

E l i z a b e t h, and her last name is C o x. Sometimes I would accidentally type "L i x C o x". The first time I did it I luckily caught it before hitting send. When I told her about it she just laughed, and said it happens all the time * Lix...errr, I mean LIZ must get sooo tired of that sometimes. * I just read the dinner thread with all the cucumber talk. * My Dad had a close friend-- Richard--who of course, liked to be called Dick.

Yes, his name is Richard Mycock. I promise you I am not joking. |
