Comments on: Two Types of Typos-I Really Hate One http://beautyofthebible.com/2009/11/23/two-types-of-typos-i-really-hate-one/ an exploration of the beauty of the word of God Fri, 10 Feb 2012 13:53:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Peter http://beautyofthebible.com/2009/11/23/two-types-of-typos-i-really-hate-one/#comment-4008 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 22:06:21 +0000 http://beautyofthebible.com/?p=2054#comment-4008 Gary, I relied heavily on spell check in college, but I would still get knocked for grammatical stuff I would have caught if had really proofed my stuff. I agree, I’m grateful for it, but it’s a little overrated.

Bitsy, I forgive you.

Obviously not thinking here because I would want folks to let me know!

I don’t know why they happen. Maybe my fingers bounce on a key or something, but I will often see a “ii” within a word, or a “Ww” at the beginning. Fortunately my spellcheck catches it; but I’m so used to seeing it that my own internal mental spellcheck sometimes doesn’t see that squiggly red line under the word.

Besides that, I have fat fingers that often catch two keys at once. I thank the Lord for spellcheck.

Bitsy, thanks…next time, shoot me an email letting me know :)

The latter isn’t true is it? I’m going to get them for it to make myself feel superior.

I hate it when I find them in my writing . . .

There are many people who (whom?) I correct but then they keep on spelling wrong. Loose for lose, there-they’re-their, rediculous, definately etc. Drives me nuts. But we all have our weaknesses and I sure have some big ones.

I also want to be corrected because I want to be correct.
