I have noticed that my typing is atrocious.

I type ahve instead of have

oen instead of one

and so on. It takes ages to correct, if I notice it at all until aftre I ahve psoted (after I have posted)!

Why is it that my fingers go in reverse direction to what my brain is telling them? I keep getting these two letter reversals which I find difficult to read (I often have been known to spot a mis-spelt word almost immediately).

Take -ing ending - the n is on the right hand and the g on the left so I should go right hand, left hand - but obviously go left hand, right hand. Any answers as to why?

I find it infuriating because when I wrote everything by hand my spelling was near perfect, when I type it is abysmal!
 
Don't let it bother you.Nobody is graded on here for spelling or anything else.I know it can be frustrating and sometimes embarrassing but the only person it bothers is you.
We are more interested in what you have to say than how you've typed it :)

that is a very helpful response, only thing is I better have something useful to say ??? ::) :o
 
Mostly I know how to spell the words, that has never been my trouble in any language, but I totally see your point about hitting the wrong keys or in the wrong order! Sometimes I come up with the most awful things that nobody would ever be able to decipher, lol! It is annyoing (lol, I can NEVER get that word right in the first attempt!), but as George said, only to oneself. So just forget about it. What is more funny, I keep committing spoonerisms. The two I remember best are "I´ll shut down and sit up" and "on your bay to wed". Both of them I said to Peter Sallis who had a good laugh ;D. Oh, and I nearly said "Look, there is a shagpile in the tree!" when I meant magpie. I had only heard that word once in Splash in Wales and then again half an hour before I nearly said that. I think any sort of mistake of this kind when you type or speak is fun. I think we should open a thread about funny mistakes!
