Inspired by Fred, who mentioned in his thread that he often/nearly always types 'chaos' when he means to put 'chaps'.......

What do YOU find yourself mistyping, over and over again !

For me, it's 'remeber' instead of remember (I really had to type that slowly... ;D)
My other favourites are signing off with Phuil instead of Phil......and instaed instead of instead. (Got each one of those wrong.)

Cheers (That's often 'Chers') - Phuil.

My name which usually comes out as: Gareth.  (In point of fact, anything with a capital letter often end up with 2; I don't let go of the shift key fast enough.)

And also which is usually aslo.
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

I do like Lloyd's rants; one of my favourites is his rant about: "in my opinion"; in my opinion he makes a fair point ;)

To quote the great Don Marquis:
CAPITALS AT LAST

CAPITALS AT LAST

By Don Marquis, in "archys life of mehitabel," 1933

I THOUGHT THAT SOME HISTORIC DAY
SHIFT KEYS WOULD LOCK IN SUCH A WAY
THAT MY POETIC FEET WOULD FALL
UPON EACH CLICKING CAPITAL
AND NOW FROM KEY TO KEY I CLIMB
TO WRITE MY GRATITUDE IN RHYME
YOU LITTLE KNOW WITH WHAT DELIGHT
THROUGHOUT THE LONG AND LONELY NIGHT
I'VE KICKED AND BUTTED (FOOT AND BEAN)
AGAINST THE KEYS OF YOUR MACHINE
TO TELL THE MOVING TALE OF ALL
THAT TO A COCKROACH MAY BEFALL
INDEED IF I COULD NOT HAVE HAD
SUCH OCCUPATION I'D BE MAD
AH FOR A SOUL LIKE MINE TO DWELL
WITHIN A COCKROACH THAT IS HELL
TO SCURRY FROM THE PLAYFUL CAT
TO DODGE THE INSECT EATING RAT
THE HUNGRY SPIDER TO EVADE
THE MOUSE THAT %)?) ) " " " $$$ ((gee boss
what a jolt that cat mehitabel made
a jump for me
it kicked me right into the
mechanism where she
couldn't reach me it
was nearly the death of little
archy that kick spurned me right
out of parnassus back into
the vers libre slums i lay
in behind the wires for an hour after
she left before i dared to get
out and finish i hate
cats say boss please lock the shift
key tight some night
i would like to tell the story of
my life all in capital
letters

These are the more common ones:

teh instead of the.

becasue instead of because.

nad instead of and.

aslo instead of also.

batallion instead of battalion. (Only in English that is, if it was a proper French OOB it would be okay.)

Weirdly, batallion looks right :-\

I can never get vehicle right always type vechile

Thank god for auto correct
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Westmarcher

Other than batallion (ba-tie-yon) instead of battalion, its the autocorrect that annoys me (took me four attempts to type the French version there).
ITS INSUBORDINATION ANNOYS ME INTENSELY!
I'm glad I have the caps lock - Lloyd. You're a pirck.
I type in Wargamer; it enters Warmer (where I live, pronounce it 'waarmer' and that's not always a good thing to be called). During the recent 'ear worm' thread, it kept correcting Westmarcher to Westminster when I tried to log in. Its stopped doing that now! Why? :-\  When I type fsn, it changes it to fun (looks like you have a fan there fsn - once it even changed it to fan !).  :-\
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Fenton

Calm down Westminster


Its only the computer..I am sure fun has nothing to do with this problem. Your a warmer for goodness sake.

You can overcome this problem

When I used to work for a living - compnay. I don't think I've ever typed that word correctly first time.
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.
