What are your most consistent typos?

[Joeman]

'Cancelled' is British, i.e. the correct way.

Really? Well that's how I always spell it. Does this mean I'm now going to have to start use spellings like "favour" and "colour" and "honour" as well?

Lots of interesting feedback on that, thanks. I'm glad it's not just me losing my mind. It's something I only started noticing quite recently. I really have always thought that "cancelled" was the right way, and will likely continue to use that.

On the subject of words, not typos, I want to pummel anyone who uses "irregardless". Definitely a huge pet peeve.

I seem to type "becasue" a lot when what I mean is "because". Also "form" instead of "from", and when typing in long numbers on the keypad I tend to drop zeroes, which is kind of annoying.

Worst of all is missing backspace, resuil;tyinr ===-====--lting in lots of equals signs and minus signs.

I've been known to do this one, too.

More embarrassing? "Untied States" -- it doesn't get picked up by spell check and, um, I work for the federal government.

the - teh
and - adn
then - than
thats - thast
forget "n't" in shouldn't, doesn't and wouldn't
and i sometimes manage to use the swedish "ä" istead of the ' . iäve (i've), youäve (you've) but thats just because its just next to it.

bloody annoying that i can't learn to spell correctly after studying english for more then ten years.

Oh yes, 'becasue'! Do that all the damn time!

decision
disicion
dicission

And when someone call me on it, Hey "That how it's spelled in Spanish."

Independence....which I often write as "independance"...I'm just burning, doing the Indepen-Dance!

Fascist was one I used to get wrong...facist. People who judge everything at face value?

I suppose a facist is someone who discriminates against ugly people.

 

[FormerLurker]

Far too often, I'll type 'teh' and 'nad' instead of 'the' and 'and'.

 

[Nardpuncher]

Oh yes, 'becasue'! Do that all the damn time!

I also do becasue.

It seems like you and I have a few of the same typos, as I get soemone and soemtimes etc. all the time.


So do you typo "episode" also?
