Maybe because I try to type too fast . Maybe because I never learned the correct way.
But I am consistently doing this.
hvae =have
mroe =more etc etc etc. It is like typing dyslexia. :P

I do the same thing too ( if you havent noticed :P) I do ti when i wirte as well. I read fine though. In fact im an awsome reader. I looked into it and i think I have a form of dysgraphia. You may have it too. I really dont care, when I am wrighting papers for school I just use spell check. I do always let my teachers know i have a horrible spelling issue so they wont be so harsh when we are wrighting things in class that count. I remember my whole life i always got yelled at because I couldnt spell. I have always been a great student too, it was always the spelling that was odd. Oh well :P
We did. :DQuote:

I always type "dong" instead of "doing" - LOL
Ah, I have the same problem, I just type so fast that my spelling is usually really bad, thank god for the Google toolbar with it's spell checker.
A Freudian slip?Quote:

I ususally write said as 'siad' or great as 'graet'. :whyme:
I never used to do it, but I've been doing it quite a lot since I switched to the Dvorak keyboard layout. I guess that's because I've only been using the Dvorak layout for about a year, vs. about 20 years prior using Qwerty. :P I still type faster on Dvorak though.
How about "becasue" thats the one I have most often
I always ignored the way we were taught to with that homerow crap, only the slowest typist I know use it, I use sort of a
qwer(left hand) nm,.(right hand) position with my hands, and I still type fast enough for my own good
I ignored the home row on Qwerty too, and developed my own way of typing, which was quite fast and I had been using for about 20 years. However, I switched to Dvorak because I wanted to learn to type "properly", and I can assure you that typing properly is less limiting to my typing speed than my own method of typing.
How is a Dvorak keyboard different than Qwerty? And why is considered more proper?Quote:

The keys on the Dvorak layout are arranged so that the most frequently used letters appear in the most convenient places. It's designed for improved efficiency in typing (15 times as many English words can be typed on the home row alone compared to Qwerty). The arrangement is like this:
Top row: ' , . P Y F G C R L
Home row: A O E U I D H T N S
Bottom row: ; Q J K X B M W V Z
I wasn't trying to say that the Dvorak layout is any more "proper" than a Qwerty, but it would be much harder for me to learn to type "properly" on a layout that I have become so used to typing on using my own developed method. So switching to Dvorak simply allowed me to start again from scratch and forced me to abandon my pre-formed habits that I had when using Qwerty.
I also consitsently make typos. Here is an unedited post and just for once I bet it will be the only one I ever make without typos is.
Oh, there were two.
Anyway, typosgraphical errors happen to everyone, I don't think it's ever a conition. If it's anything to do with YOU, then it's more likeyl to be your hand-eye coordination.
I never type proplery. I am using both hands at the moment, but I usually only use my left hand. And unless I am very tred, I make kless typos when I just use my left hand.
Typo count; 8.
If you type properly, hand-eye co-ordination will not even come into consideration, because you won't be looking at your keyboard or your hands whilst your typing.Quote:

In typing class, I was taught that I was making transpositional errors and given exercises to correct them. Good times. I guess transposition is one of the most common typing errors and certain words are frequently mispelled; liek and becuase are common.

Nowadays, it is not so important, as the delete key is so handy. But in the old days of typewriters... and business letters that were ranked in importance from having to be perfect to not having any more than three detectable 'corrections' , one had to moderator one's typing 'speed' with a certain sense of care or caution. Unfortunately, we had to slow down and type very consciously. But, now, with our delete keys, one can get about as much done by just typing like the wind and correcting the occassional typo here and there.
I myself go back several typing generations. I am old enough to remember when business work was still being done with manual typewriters, when the Underwood Typewriter was the much coveted state of the art. Then I lived through the Era which established IBM as the hugely successful and central company that it used to be, it now being only a shadow of its former self, but its fortunes were once made largely on the success of the IBM Selectric Typewriter. Oh, God, but what a sweet feel that electric key board had. So crisp, and yet each key had enough lag in sensitivity so that you could still change your mind halfway down. I remember even during my most impoverished times that I was half disposed to save my money to buy one, to set beside my musical instruments.
Then Word Processing came around and the rest is History.
I do it a lot, too. I think mostly because I type really fast. The other common error I make is putting the space in the wrong place. Fo rexample. I guess it's really the same problem, just with a space and a letter instead of two letters.
I've noticed the same problem when I type--a lot of characters get transposed, and I always have to go back and correct them, since I tend to be a perfectionist. I do better when I type more slowly, so maybe I should practice typing slower. I'm used to typing a bit too fast.Quote:

I haven't actually studied the problem, but I think it happens when I have to press two consecutive keys pressed with fingers on different hands. I think I sometimes tend to press them at almost the same time, so sometimes they came out in the right order, sometimes in the wrong order.
Of course, if computer keyboards had better tactile feedback, that'd probably help, too. A lot of people seem to blame today's keyboards, so I will, too. ;) I'd really like to see what a "good" keyboard feels like, out of curiosity. I know my keyboard could be better.
I hate punctuation
Um, you revived a 2 year old thread to say that?
WTF is up with new members reviving old threads?
I just might find myself one too:D
And relating to the thread. No there is no typing disorder, there are only disorders that may be shown in typing. As TC has said, dislexia.
