I do find the lack of capital letters makes your posts difficult to read.

I can tell from you posts this could be a problem. I think it was all a
misunderstanding.

Not to worry, John - looks like a simple typo.

Dont worry about it. I was in the newspaper business for 30 years. You
should see some of the trouble a simple typo got *me* into. Once, in
72-point type, on a $4,000 page ad: "First Bank of XXXX Would Like To
Make A Pubic Announcement."

You don't know the meaning of the word "grovel" until you've been in
my moccasins.

What was the XXXX *supposed* to say?

(I didn't want to publish the full name of the bank on usenet). It was
supposed to be "public" announcement!

Oh, I didn't even notice that - LOL. I thought the XXXX was the mistyped
word.

I think Sherry was just using "XXXX" to preserve the
anonymity of the bank - it was the missing "l" in "Public"
that was the culprit!

That's hilarious, and it sure beats the typo that I used to tell people
about.  I typed our church bulletins for awhile and for some reason I kept
typing "Prince of Peach."  I caught most of them and as far as I know, only
one made it into print -- but I sure heard a lot of laughs about that one.

My boss was certainly not happy at a clam about it, either. :-)
Interesting thing, if you type a lot, your fingers develop a "muscle
memory". Words, or letter combinations, that you type very frequently
sometimes crop up like that. I always called it my fingers bypassing
my brain. You must have typed "ch" or "each" a lot at your work.

Very interesting!  Yes, that explanation is a distinct possibility.

I know I cannot type the word "ratio" (Or any other word ending in
"tio") quickly without adding an "n" on the end.  I also always stype
"studnet" for "student", which was a great source of amusement for my
partner, anda source of compiler errors, when I was writing a software
program where a variable name was "student".

Yeah, that whole muscle-memory thing is weird.

My offenders:
abaout (when anyone picks up on this one, I claim I'm Canadian! :-)
fifield (for "field" I know someone whose last name is Fifeld!)
develope (don't know why that E is there.)

There are more... can't think of them. I do like "studnet" though.
Is it a 1-900 number??

Hehe. Studnet is a common mistake for me, too.

Yeah, computers are completely unforgiving that way.

I can't type the word "because". It usually comes out "becuase". I
do it so consistently that people must think I can't spell it.

Also, the word "people" really confounds me on a keyboard. In the
previous paragraph, I had typed "peole", and then corrected it. I also
type "peopel" a lot, and "pelple". :)

That reminds me of a short story I read about spell checkers, that was
written all in incorrect homophones. It was really funny. I'll try to find
it.

Eye no it wasn't two long ago...

I have certain words in which I leave out a letter, and others in which I
always reverse two letters.  There are some I add a letter onto, also.  I
find it very difficult to type "though" without turning it into "thought",
for instance.

I didn't mention it before but now you mention the word "though" I noticed
evry time Lesley typed it, it turned into "through", after a while I
couldn't miss it. ;-)

I agree with that.  I have always had difficulty typing the word "bread"  It
comes out as breand more often than not as my fingers are so used to typing
"and"

For some reason I can't type "Baptist" (see, I had to type that very
carefully) without typing "Batpist"

I'm sorry, Sherry, you must have suffered a lot for that, but I can't
help ROFLing! Also sympathizing, since some of my writing ends up in
print, and I can't take back all the mistakes.

ROFL.
One day my late mother said to me "Can I ask you something?"  This must been
about 10 years ago when she was 70.  So I said "Yes, of course."  She said
"Well.." and seemed a bit embarrassed before carrying on "why is that hair
*down there* called public when it's so private?"
She'd misread the word all her life.  Awww.

God bless her for her innocence! That's hilarious.
My grandmother used the expression "down there", too, to refer to the "nether
regions."

Nowadays you can say either "pubes" or "nads" and anyone under 30 will know
what you mean.

Awww.  Sounds like a similar story about my late grandma.  My mom, her
sister and BIL were sitting in grandma's house watching some '80s news
magazine program, and they were reporting the results of some large
sex survey.  My grandma, a rather direct woman, burst out with "What
the hell is an 'orgasm'?"  My uncle deadpanned, "It's what Nancy (his
wife) has in the supermarket."

Or an acquaintance who, in the course of her secretarial
duties, managed to address a Whittier, California
organization, transposing "s" for "w"!  (And it got mailed
out that way.)

Spellchecker wouldn't have helped.  It recognises both as and at as a word.
This misunderstanding is now cleared up as far as I'm concerned.
Welcome to the group.
I am English and two cats make me their slave.  A 4 year old boy, tabby and
white, called Boyfriend, and a very old black and white tuxedo lady called
Kitty Farmcat.
They both adopted me against my will ;-)  just arrived and said "this is my
home from now on.."
