It's not necessarily ceratin words that throw me off. it is more that I taught myself how to trpy and keep htiing the wrong letters. it also fdonesn't (doesn't) help that somethimes my fingers move faster than tmy midn does and puts in extra letters. It's like mt fingers are completing to see who is the dasted and just end up hitting random letters or wletters out of order completely. I also can't spel to well.

I decided to tyep this post without isring the backspace hjey. Good lucj teranslating

(just imagine how long it would take me to type p a papre in college_

Ooo. I want to try typing without th ebackspace. Hopefully it comes out okay since I have to tpe all day anyway. Dang, this is harder athn it looks.

I don't know if I can type withouth the backspace it's so ingrtained...in fact just tried to use it when I wanted a comma and hadn't put one.

It really is hard. M y biggest problem si that when I learnd to typw it was while looking at the jeybora. If i am not thingking about it, I don't have a problem, but as soo as I fo, then the words are all wrong and I have to slook down atyain. Wow - that post wasn't too bad!!

If you literally always transpose certain things, I guess you could get Microsoft's free Keyboard Layout Creator.

I like the keyboard the way it is. I took typing my senior year of HS. Many of my friends had been taking office type classes all along, but I was in college prep classes. Thought I would take typing in case I ever needed it, and had more than filled my requirements of needed classes.

This was back in the day before computers. The room was divided into manual and electric typewriters, and your font choices were pica and elite.

Never thought I would need typing. But, I learned the basics, finger placements, no looking, etc...so that when I started using a computer I had the basics down...it was just a matter of perfecting it through practice. I'm a pretty decent typist now, but thank goodness for backspace.

It was like in basketball in HS...if you learn the correct fundamentals of shooting...the shots will come.

I always type reublican as repubican. I don't know why. Ok, I know why - I do it on purpose.

Oh, and I typically type retail as reatail.

Someone gave me an old typewriter back in the 80's, when I was in electronic school. I got a typing made simple book and was fair, but no more till I got a pooter in 99. Still can't spell. When I use the shift key to make a Cap. I get 3 or 4 caps before I getr my pinkie off. Grammer? forget it.
