All My Typos

Posted by jannie (My Page) on

I post here a lot. Anybody who sees all my typos must think I'm either an idiot or my hands are numb. I am just too quick to hit the submit key. And I am ALWAYS in a hurry-have been all my life.

RE: All My Typos

LOL Jannie! I am not one to call attention to typos or even misspelled words. I do it often enough myself. Don't worry about them. We usually know what peeps mean.

I have dyslexic fingers....that is my excuse!

Doesn't bother me a bit, happens to me all the time! I think faster than I can type sometimes. I wouldn't worry about it.

My fingers function faster than my brain. LOL And, if my computer didn't underline miss-spelled words, so I can go back & correct them, my post would probably look like it was presented by a kindergartner. Don't worry about it. Dottie

I'm also a hunt-and-peck typist. Never learned touch-typing like the other girls. I didn't want to be a secretary. I wanted to go to college and be a teacher. Didn't make that last goal, but I had an interesting job with the government for 31 years.

Here Jannie...come sit by me...I'm ALWAYS in a hurry...drives my family nuts!! I'm a pretty fast typer...but sometimes I reverse my letters...I think most people here are pretty tolerant...It's one of those "Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweatty things"...LOL We're just glad your here!

RE: All My Typos

I have the same problem & its getting worse by the day. Maybe its just old age?

RE: All My Typos

This is a conversational forum...I agree...there should be no Typo Police....

I have spell check built into my browser...that's helped tremendously...but it shouldn't matter!

Jannie, don't feel bad! You can sign my name to Heather's post. You have NO idea how often I use the backspace key! I'm just happy to see you post.

I just wish there was an EDIT added to this forum.

When I read Jannie's second post I thought I had written it.

I'm also a hunt-and-peck typist. Never learned touch-typing like the other girls. I didn't want to be a secretary. I wanted to go to college and be a teacher. Didn't make that last goal, but I had an interesting job with the government for 31 years.

Same reason for not learning to type; didn't get to college; worked for the government, but only a couple years.

I married my DH knowing his goal was to become a teacher, so that was close. I got my PHT degree*.

So I use the Scriptural method of typing: "seek and ye shall find."

I am grateful for spell check though.

When I first came on here I used to be SO careful & would proof read all my posts. Nowadays, meh, I just don't care. I figure it you all just get the gist of what I'm trying to say, then I'm good. LOL


 o
RE: All My Typos

Don't worry about it! Most of us are more interested in what you have to say than how you spell it!

RE: All My Typos

Sometimes when I check the message before submitting, I cannot believe that it was I who actually typed such a mess of errors. My keyboard just wants to embarrass me.


 o
RE: All My Typos

Once upon a time I was a lot more diligent about my posts. I irritated someone and they made a rather ugly post about it. I type faster than I think and tend to run my words together! Don't sweat those typos! Life is too short. I come here to read about what my friends are doing. I could care less about the spelling!

RE: All My Typos

I have always typed really fast and always seem to be in a hurry. I've made some real doozies myself. I don't pay much attention to typos by other people. I remember one time here at the KT there was a quite a discussion about typos. Seems most people aren't concerned, just glad that people come here to share a little of their day.

And I have my PMS degree. Putting up with Mens' Sh@t!
