I'm just curious, norsenerd, do you happen to be dislecsic (however you spell the thing that scrambles up letters)?

That is part of the problem. I always write my epsilons as three's. (I'm a math and physics student. I use grek leters). When I'm writign things I often skip a letter and have to go back, even in my won name. These are examples. I do sypithise with people who ahve to read me but if I got so cought up in spelling things corectly I woudlnt; say anything. It's to ahrd and frustrating to do that. Once in college I was wrtiign a papper and I had to speel eggaderate. I tried hard to figure out how to speel it and got to the poitn where I had to storm away form my computer and not go back for an hour in a half. There are several issues here. I apreicate everybody beign patient wiht me. It's askign a lto form some popel, I know, but I've tried so meny times to be good aobut speeling and it's... well.... it's either this or nothing. Sorry :-/

Hmmm... It also looks like you think faster than you type. It happens to me too. When you type the wrong letter because you get ahead of yourself?
That which does not kill me, cripples me for life.

This is probably also part of it though not a part I've given significant thought to. Perhaps I should. I think it has been mentioned befroe. It is odd because I think faster then I talk as well. Sometimes I get ahead of myself and jumble my words and then I can;t recove because I've already thought to far ahead to go back and have ti make sence. Thus sometimes my points fail to get across. On a diferent problem I have also had a stutering problem my entire life, at times quite a seveare one. That seems mroe mood and stress related so if you notice me stutering then you know that soemthing is up. That only works with people who can hear me phsyicly talk, which is no one here at the moment....

Your last post there had fewer errors than before. I guess you started applying the tips more.

I think it;s the concept that when your consious of soemthign you tend to be more carefull of it. I know I shoudl do better adn perhaps that's soemthign I coudl work on. Unfortinatiyl it;s just not a priority right now.

How about doing what I do, and typing what you want to say at the speed you want, then going back and correcting it.
