Your typical typos

I can't tell you how many running backs I've written about that have rushed for 100 years instead of yards.

 

Brain sted Brian. Did that one about 10 minutes ago.
And my worst is Atlanta Barves. Do that ALL the time. Maybe because I'm a Mets fan.

 

I always add a g to the end of cousin.

Except for this time.

 

My brother-in law-isn't named Christ, but I add a "t"

"fort he" sted "for the" and "type" when I'm trying to write "typo."

And although I spell "transnational" correctly every time, it always looks like there's a typo. That's a weird word. (And yeah, in my job I use it frequently.)

Go Barves!

 

Indeed. And glad you cleared that first point up, because I'm almost positive I have NEVER used that word.

 

Wasn't even thinking about the phone when I started this. The m being right next to delete on the screen causes me all manner of grief.

 

Philadlephia Philadlephia Philadelphia

 

Add me to the list of those who often type "teh."

I used to get type "lead" when I meant to type "led." Not for long, but it drove me nuts until I got that out of my system.

 

You see it all the time in print and online: "that" when the writer intended to type "than."

Don't recall seeing it the other way around, though.

 

I have trouble with "fir" instead of "for." And "commercial" is a real problem for some reason -- I always type it in "commerical."

There was one memorable mistake I almost made when I was a young reporter more than 30 years ago. One of our local high schools was playing a state sectional basketball game against Illinois School for the Deaf (which had a pretty good team back then). Unfortunately, I mixed up the f and the d and typed in "Illinois School for the Dead." My boss, who was not the world's greatest copy editor, surprisingly made the catch. I'll always owe him one for that.

 

Tuesdasy.

I don't know what happened, but about four, five years ago I started typing Tuesdasy instead of Tuesday and my fingers and brain keep doing it.

 

I can't spell "conscious" on the first try to save my life.
