So, are there any words that you folks always trip up on?
A big one of mine is rhythm. I know how to spell it, but my fingers automatically type it out in about 3 different variations. None of which are correct.

My favorite typo is sex instead of a sec. Can happen to anyone and it's possible to make that mistake with your boss, family or a friend.

It's not exactly a typo, but I have a tendency to insert profanity in my first drafts. Like digital Tourette's.

Once I've typed it I know whether it's right or wrong, but until I actually see it on the screen I can never remember.

Adding unnecessary "e"s. And occasionally a "d" after an l. Like "sould" or "mounde".

Forward. I always leave out the first r for some reason.
Also, I sometimes type 'shit' when I try to type 'this'

I know I have a few, but I don't remember them. And I always correct them if I notice them.
One thing I will say, though; fuck the iPhone's autocorrect. Fuck it, fuck it, fuck it with a fucking cactus.

Into. In to. When typing at speed, I don't really notice and it's such a pedantic technicality that most people don't notice it either but it really irks me if I do spot it.

Weiner Wiener My phone and Windows 7 correct it differently. I have no idea which is right anymore.

I am still moderately terrible at spelling "ceiling." Always swapping the i and e.

You know what freaks me out? Sometimes I type things when I'm blacked out drunk, then when I look at it the next day...not a single fucking typo.
It's like I have a really smart guy inside my head who can only be unlocked through alcohol. fucking dlc

I just recently got probably down. It usually comes out as prabably.
I had to correct 3 typos while typing that. :/ I'm baddd.
That exercise in typing class where you had to type as fast as you could without using backspaces? Yeah. I failed that.

Wasn't that the norm for all exercises in typing courses back in the day? I never got to use backspace. Some ol' bullshit.

Antidisestablishmentarianism. Spell that fucker wrong nearly every damn time. Makes my articles that I write on the protests against church schizms so very difficult.

Schism is my favorite Tool song. Of course I knew it. I mean, why would I make such a stupid mistake? Considering it's one of my favorite songs? HUH?! WHY WOULD I DO THAT?!!?!!?!

I'm a sucker for incorrectly spelling words that don't sound like they're written. For instance,
February (I say Feb-yoo-ary, not Feb-roo-ary)
and
Wedensday (I say Wens-day, not Wed-uns-day)
Emotional times, guys. Emotional.

Necessary.
Did I spelt it right? O_o
The words "odyssey" and "necessary" are the bane of my existence. Without spell check I am assured to misspell those words.

Same w/ me for the longest time. Then I remembered Wednesday by saying, "Wed NES day" (as in the console:blush:). It seriously helped though.
I also misspell "embarrassed" a lot.

I often put two "c"s or one "n" in "unnecessary," but usually catch it just in time.

ANNNND I never make typos because I have a natural tendency to double-check everything, but every time I type out "tommorrow" I wind up being like, hey. Wait a minute...

Yeah, I'm the same. It's rare that I let one of my sentences go "live," so to speak, without re-reading it a few times.

Since this past weekend I seem to constantly add an 'e' to the end of 'him'. I catch it each time and fix it before posting, but it's an odd thing to have just start happening out of the blue. My fingers are going stupid. :(

Simultaneous.
Banjo-Kazooie taught me what it meant but they never gave me the means to consistently spell it right. Almost always comes out as silmeotaneous or simoltaneous.

For some reason I keep typing 'went' as 'whent' AND I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHY MY FINGERS ARE DOING IT. Thank God I always spot it before I make a fool of myself.
