    I find my auto correct on my tablet changing what I type all the time, I go back and correct it and then it does it again. When I am on my PC I have no excuse, I didn't like English but had a good looking English teacher.
    I have been looking for a place to use this.

    I need to go back to one of my other forums where the uneducated people hide.
    Is there an English forum.
    I don't hunt and peck I know how to type. I could type fast but mistakes were (are) still my big problem. :)
    There is a difference between a misspelled word and a mistyped one.

    What about rouge instead of rogue? One is a reddish color and the other is something else.

    Also, I seem to have this bad habit of typoing when trying to clarify somebody else's typoes :eek:

    "goverment" vs "government"? I think this one is a case where "living" language will eventually (ahem) govern. Myself I pronounce it like the former. To say "government" I have to slow down, like going over a mental speed-bump.

    It's weird: I had to go back and edit the heck out the above, change "latter" to "former", and the last "goverment" to "government". First draft, I consistently typed the opposite of what I meant.

    I bet you say colour instead of color too. Even your gallon is larger.

    Our gallooon? There's been pretty much zero official use of imperial gallons, since what, the '70's? But car dealerships keep it alive: love to quote miles per (imperial) gallon (and typically just the highway portion), especially for the CUV's and land boats. :rolleyes:

    Nothing like a 'Post' or 'Submit' button to make all the errors suddenly show up.

    I see it all the time, like auto correct to something you didn't want to say. It's weird
