You know how sometimes there are words that are just hard for you to say? ("Improvisation" is one of mine.) Do you ever have the same problem with typing? I just had to type exclusivity about six times and I made a different typo every time even though I kept slowing down trying to get through it right.

I never use a spell checker because my spelling is typically very good, so I watch closer for typos than the average person.

Any words you just can't for the life of you type correctly at normal speed?

I'm the same. Usually don't have problems with spelling. Committee I always forget that it's 2x the m, t, and e.

I usually mess up spelling "disappointed" because I use 2 "s"s instead of "p"s.

All my life I've had an above average vocabulary and have been consistently complemented for my writing skills by English teachers, family and friends but my spelling has always been atrocious. It's to the point that it's almost a medical condition ;) A persons writing can make a profound first impression, which sucks because I can make a great impression on people if I have enough time to sit down and talk to them, that is if I'm not feeling to socially phobic.

Spell check isn't just me friend it's my significant other.

I don't like words the require more than two keystrokes from the same finger on the same hand in a row.

"Hello" is one of them. :|

Usually common words like the, this, that, and since the words are short enough that you're almost typing out the entire word instantly and it's easy to transpose letters

For me, anything ending in "...ion". Example: condiiton, confuision, premoniiton, igniiton, etc.

Edit: I seem to have trouble with freind, beleif, and other "I before E" words as well.

Or is it because you have neither friends nor beliefs? :p

that kind of thing definately pisses me off.

Interesting that people don't misspell "infinitely" as "infinately".
