I don't know what my most mistyped word is, but I always read over my post and look for typos. If I see any, I go back and edit my post to fix them. They just... bother me.

I usually notice if something's misspelled when I'm typing it...I rarely get it posted with a spelling mistake. =P

Well I tend to have a lot of typos, but I think that I'm getting better actually and when actually typing the message I read through it as I go along, but I don't check back afterwards.

I never really have a problem with "teh". I always have problems with from/form and with/wiht.

Pffft, I misspell everything. Usually it's just my stupid fingers missing a key or hitting the wrong key or bein' stupid, or my mind thinks of other things while I'm typing, causing me to screw up. Sometimes when typing 'seven' I type 'Steven' and once I was typing Zero and I typed it as Stero... :roll:

Heh, usually I know if I've pressed the wrong key, so I just stop, backspace, and then continue typing =P Don't really remember the words that I misspell ...

I see a lot of "wierd"s in the boards, and "teh"s. I have this problem with "Neopets" and "Noepets" :oops:

"It". I find "it" a really hard word to spell. I've got all the variations of it, yup, and I usually spell it wrong on a regular basis (as in typo). I've had itit before, and itittt. -_-;;

I also submit my post, and then check it for mistakes (I find it easier to read the bigger font than the smaller font, or my eyes go all funny). If there are any I go back and edit them, because they irritate me. A lot. I'm quite nitpicky really, so I hate it when I misspell "it". :P

I've noticed that where I'm posting a mistake matters. For instance today I posted on the Debate forum and I used the phrase "life threatening". In my original post I mistyped it "lifethreatening" but I re-read what I had written after I posted it and went back to correct it. If I had made a similar mistake in the screenies thread of the general chat, I probably wouldn't have cared enough to go back and correct it.

I sometimes add some random 'e's onto the end of things like 'from' or 'old' so they end up like frome and olde. I also type like I hear, so I type 'here' instead of 'hear' for instance. But thats on occasion only, normally when I'm typing overly fast.
