Digital Dyslexia

[Benjamin]

I don't know if this exists but I swear I have it. I often find that I mistype words and it usually the same words such as myslef (myself) and then have to edit my post.

But when I'm writing them in real life I never have any problems. Why is it on computers I seem to look like I come across as dyslexic sometimes?

[Vicky.]

There are a few words that I ALWAYS type wrong. Cant think of what they are right now, but by the end of the day I will have mispelt at least one of them :/

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Maybe cause you have sticky fingers?:devil:

I do that too sometimes especially with toin coss...DOH I mean coin toss

[Niall]

I do this too. I always type black as balck for some reason and I always type :bawling: as :balwing:.

[Niamh.]

lmao, ILoveTRW asked me if I was dyslexic a few weeks back:joker:

[CharlieO]

I get that a lot.

Especially with long passwords when you cant see what you're typing. But to fix it you just need to be aware with certain words and slowly it will correct it self. Its just because of habit that it happens a lot.

I know how to spell the words though and I sometimes even watch myself type, but it's not a case of hitting the wrong button; more a case that my brain seems to switch letters around, but only on computers. :sad:

I have the same problem ::laugh: but it's not my fault really as I believe I have a dyslexic keyboard :tongue:

Move on sunshine....


I am being serious though. Is there such thing as digital dyslexia?

[Tom4784]

I've got this so bard, 80% of my posts are edited due to fixing errors.

[Chuck]

I dont think so Ben :L

Oh, I like that reasoning! :hugesmile:

[joeysteele]

I get that a lot too, but I think one hand types quicker than the other so that's how letters in words get mixed up with me. I generally have to correct loads,sometimes after I have posted too.

lmao, did you do that on purpose?:joker:

Rofl no, I didn't notice it until you pointed it out though, I'll let it stand though.

[Redway]

I'm not too sure - I've never noticed it. :)

[Kerry]

I do it a lot. Plus most of the time I don't spot it even though I re-read. It's had me thinking about it loads of times


I know of someone who cannot type "the" right for love nor money (always types "teh"). Infact now, people think he's typo'd if he actually spells it correctly :laugh:

[Vicky.]

I just remembered one of mine

I always type lvoe instead of love

[Tom4784]

On msn I have the tendency to write lmao as lamp.

[CharlieO]

I always muck up 'to' and spell it 'ot'.

[Kerry]

Two that piss me off are because and remember

LOL, I do those two.

[GypsyGoth]

I put myslef but I usually correct it before posting.

And sometimes I put a word that doesn't even make sense, and wasn't the one I intended to put.

Snap. Especially the random word thing. I'll read back and think WTF?!?!?!

(Just done another one of mine. Thing instead of think)

[Jords]

I keep putting thought for though, I do it so many times :L

Theyre are a few others but I cant think of them..

[Jords]

OH YES I KNOW! That post reminded :laugh:

I have put over for other several times, no idea why!

Not done that, but I just found another.

Knwo instead of know.

[Pyramid*]

I like to think of it as the brain thinking faster than the fingers can type: so there's bound to be a mix up now and then.:hugesmile:

It could never ever be attributed to operator error. We all know these pesky keyboards are at fault too, in not being able to read our minds, and do away with the need for the finger tapping. Bad keyboards!

[Josy]

I always spell finished and because wrong.

[Niamh.]

I always spell finished and because wrong.

I always spell definitely wrong (except when I just typed it then funnily enough!)

[Josy]

I always spell definitely wrong (except when I just typed it then funnily enough!)

:laugh:

I sometimes spell that wrong too, oh and necessary.

[CharlieO]

I always spell definitely wrong as well.

Another one: Like as Liek.

[Niamh.]

:laugh:

oh yeah, I can never spell that either or restaurant

[michael21]
