Does anyone type "teh"?

    Nearly every single time I type the word "the", I accidentally type it "teh". This wrecks my head, and I always have to go back over my post and change it. It only seems to be that particular word :confused:, but I type it all the time and still get it wrong (unless I type really slow).

    Does this happen anyone else?

    Sometimes i do it aswell, usually when I am trying to type really fast


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,175 ✭✭✭angeldelight


    Yup, every single time I type it and I still don't notice it most of the time til after I've posted or something and everyone has seen it :confused:

    common words normally result in common typos.

    you should slow down just for that word.

    teh win!

    I do it unintentionally sometimes too ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,677 ✭✭✭Waltons


    Damn it Foster, you beat me to it. Love BASS by the way.
    But yes, I also type teh sometimes by accident, and mostly on purpose. My friend wrote it on a geography essay a few times too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,666 ✭✭✭Imposter


    To is the word that always seems ot get me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,851 ✭✭✭PurpleFistMixer


    I sometimes type teh, but thing is the thing which always gets me. Interestingly enough I got it there, but yeah, I nearly always type it tihng. And yuo, sometimes ot. I'm just really clumsy in my typing... it's actually gotten so bad with all the having to go back and fix it my typing speed is deteriorating. But I can't stand to type carefully when I know I can type quickly.

    (Also fun for freaking out classmates... =D)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,584 ✭✭✭✭Creamy Goodness


    looks ok when someone honestly makes a mistake but when it goes like this:

    "omg gu355 wh47 1 h34rd teh hl2 g4m3 iz 0ut n0w."


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,208 ✭✭✭✭aidan_walsh

    Mike.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,003 ✭✭✭✭The Muppet


    Can't say I ever do It.

    Cough Cough

    I tend to use capitals a lot mid sentence when trying to type fast. It is because I worked on genealogy Project in the 80s computerising Parish Records into a database and the The start of each field I had to us capitals.

    Sometimes I read back over and correct it but I'll leave this as I typed it to demonstrate.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭azezil

  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 35,508 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    I always mistype my own name.
    Jesus, I made three typos in that last sentence alone (corrected now).


  • Subscribers Posts: 9,716 ✭✭✭CuLT


    The only times I type "teh" is on purpose and usually in IRC.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,730 ✭✭✭✭simu


    Sometimes I type teh on purpose as a joke.

    My most common typo is inverting the order of two letters that come after each other - ae instead of ea etc. This is because I've developed a non-standard way of typing with my two hands hopping all over the keyboard. Why did I never finish those Mavis Beacon CD roms? Sigh!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,286 ✭✭✭SprostonGreen


    A Geordie friend of mine, makes a point of doing it. He always phoenitically spells his accented words.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,842 ✭✭✭steveland?


    I always type You as Toy cos the letters are all too close together

    Other than that I'm Amlost completely literate

    You know the way they leave "the" out in the north of England, eg, "I'm off down t'pub" or "He's int town".

    How do describe that band "The The" ? Must be confusing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,556 ✭✭✭Slunk


    Yeah that happens me alot too, or sometimes I type yeha for yeah and the most annoying thing is when you type something and thes pace is in the wron gplace.Most of the time I dont bother going back to edit it as people generally get the jist of what im trying to say.


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 21,504 Mod ✭✭✭✭Agent Smith
