Almost anything starting with a "t" seems to turn out in every possible combination of to, too, two, the, their, there, etc. If it starts with a "t" and only has a few letters in the word, my mind seems to disconnect and my fingers select any of the above without context. Also, when typing in Spanish I tend to change any "a" word ending to an "e". If I don't catch it, it sometimes just produces the present subjunctive form of the verb but usually it just produces nonsense. I don't know why my fingers want to change that "a" to an "e" except that some cognates change the english ending of "e" to an "a" in Spanish so my brain must be trying to reverse engineer it. The most annoying mistype I do is, beginning about 6 years ago, the capital letters at the beginning of words stopped showing up. It was like my little fingers stopped having enough pressure on the shift key to produce the capital although i was typing it correctly. There, it just did it again, the I did not capitalize. Oh well, it is rather egotistical of English to capitalize that letter anyway
