Keyboard Dyslexia

[puffon]

I only use 2 fingers typing @ 4 WPM so I keep it under control.

I am totally self taught (failed typing class in high school) Total "hunt and peck" but I've gotten very fast. When I'm not constantly getting letters reversed, I can type super fast.
Have a lot of trouble texting on my phone (keyboard way too small) but I do actually love the "word/phrase prediction" feature... a life saver. It can also be hilarious sometimes!

Your experience with the prediction feature reminds me of my hilarious (sometimes embarrassing) failures with Dragon Natural Speaking and its struggle with my Kentucky pronunciations.

I know what you mean, I was born and raised in Oklahoma.
If you or anyone is concerned about typing and getting spelling errors should try the Grammarly app. My DIL told me about it because my grandson, who has ADHD, uses it and it greatly helped with his writing in school.

To funny this thread that I commented on already yesterday. On boxing day for $25 I ordered an Alexa Eco Dot 3. Delivered this afternoon. All ready used it twice for misspelled words that were highlighted red and made the corrections before hitting post reply. I see a good use for it as it is a fun toy. CHEERS!

Funny, here and wacko Reddit is fine mostly. Even with folks that don't use English much. But, go to Facebook and it's horrible. Or, maybe being on pirate tv groups does it.

I've found that some unexpected changes in things now, for me...seem to simply be part of having BOFS (Becoming an Old Fart Syndrome). There's no way to stop it, either.

I have never had a hint of Dyslexia in my life until I started getting into discussion forums! Just typing that first sentence it happened twice. I keep reversing letters. Anyone else do this (that normally doesn't have any issues)? Thank good ness for spell checker (I'm on a computer... can't imagine how you folks using phones manage with "auto-correct" BS)

Its an Adveres effect of Nicotime.

It has something to do with developing rubber keys.

One more thing I forgot to mention... the damn "caps lock" key is right next to the "a" key. I keep hitting caps lock (without noticing) just typing away and then suddenly notice (after 10-15 words) LOL
