    I really hope this isn't just me ...

    I can't for the life of me type the word "an" correctly on the first try. It always ends up as "and." Likewise, words that end in "-tion" the majority of the time start out as "-tino".

    What words do you all have difficulty typing without slowing down?

    When thumb-typing on my iPhone I hit "n" instead of the space bar about 50 percent of the time.

    For as long as I can remember, a large percentage of the time I try to type "Williams" it comes out "Willimas."

    If I had to cover the Olumpics, it would be horrible.

    I can't, either.

    I and O being next to each other has caused me serious hurt in the past, specifically when shot becomes shit.

    Int he instead of "in the"

    Seahawks gives me fits, too. That middle part with the "aha" gets me into a left-right-left rhythm, then there's two left hand strokes with the "aw" and I end up typing "Seahakws" unless I remember to slow down for a second.

    I screw up "by" and "my" while typing, and when growing up, I did it while writing. I think it is a dyslexic thing since I was screwing that up long before learning how to type.

    Spellcheck kills me when abbreviating one of our local schools. IHS automatically becomes HIS.

    I often type "form" instead of "from".
