Do your fingers have a mind of their own?

Guilty as charged-I think sometimes my mind is thinking faster than my fingers.

Hi Diane, You are not alone! I type the strangest things, and spell check is my best friend. Of course if it is a real work word I typed, spell check does not pick it up and I look like a fool! I type some interesting things. For instance, almost every time I type the word G O U R M E T I type gourment. Go figure! And, I lvoe live in New Milford, I almost ALWAYS type New Miflord. Or the word hospital.  I have to type that slowly or I will type HOPSPITAL every single time! Interesting. I don't know if my fingers have a mind of their own, or if I just am careless, type to quickly, or am subconsiously thinking faster than I realize and my fingers are struggling to keep up! But you did raise an interesting point. It also might come from years of AIM, not using caps, not caring what I type, just getting the words out as fast as possible.

Or, how about this? Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer inwaht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae

I am NOT spell chekcking checking this... :D

It's all you lol! No..haven't had that problem...then again...I better go check

Hi Diane

I have dyslexia and have that challenge with everything that I read or write.

Good luck and success

Most of da time my fingers kant ceep up wit my brone :)

Yes, this appens all the time. it always ahppens more if I am very tired(yawn)

Diane, Spelling was always my forte, but now I have to remember to use spell check on my comments, because of my wandering fingers (or maybe my wandering brain???)  When I don't spell check, when I revisit, I find mistakes.. AR please let us edit our comments without time limits!

That's because your brain is going too fast for your fingers.  Look at it this way.  Better to have that than have your mouth speak before your brain has thought about what to say.  That could be very embarrassing.

Diane, Believe me, you're not the only one :)  When I do a spell check what I've typed comes up ok....because they are other words.  All too often I find my mistakes after it's already found it's way to Google :(

LOL!   Yes!   One example:  Whenever I try to type blog it ends up blob. 

I also have the same problem misspelling the same words over and over. Sometimes I am thinking of the next word as I am typing and combine the two.

Diane, we are just getting older.  Just kidding.  My brain works faster than my fingers sometimes.

Have a great weekend and stay WARM!

Yeah, Diane I just did the same thing yesterday! I typed 1-5,1-5 instead of 1-6, 1-6 and I didn't even notice it! So weird. I think we are thinking faster than we can type and from head to fingers just comes out misfired sometimes....too much to do on my plate I guess!
