Digital Dyslexia
 
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?

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 :/

Niall 07-06-2011 12:31 PM

Niamh. 07-06-2011 12:32 PM

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

CharlieO 07-06-2011 12:33 PM

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:

Move on sunshine....


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

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

Chuck 07-06-2011 12:36 PM

Oh, I like that reasoning! :hugesmile:

joeysteele 07-06-2011 12:38 PM

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.

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

Redway 07-06-2011 02:45 PM

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

Kerry 07-06-2011 05:57 PM

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. 07-06-2011 06:01 PM

I just remembered one of mine

I always type lvoe instead of love

Tom4784 07-06-2011 06:02 PM

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

CharlieO 07-06-2011 06:04 PM

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

Kerry 07-06-2011 06:06 PM

Two that piss me off are because and remember

LOL, I do those two.

GypsyGoth 08-06-2011 12:05 AM

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)
