I go to type stuff for class and type a totally different word than what I was thinking on typing. Just now I put why someone would start paying something instead of when someone would start paying something. Why and when are TWO totally different words!! ! I'm confused why I am doing this!! The most writing errors for me are usually Im instead of him or something along those lines but 2 totally different words! That's not normal!! !! !!

I've done things like that, many times. Iused to think the same thing about me. It turned out that I needed to really concentrate on my work.

I frequently write completely different words if I don't slow down my typing a bit and concentrate. I think there are some words I use too frequently so I instantly type them on occasion just because it's so normal for me to type them. Starting with certain letters makes my mind instantly type out the too familiar word instead of what I meant to type. Hey... at least the sentences you mentioned made sense :wink:

I just did this a short time ago. I typed "regions" instead of "reasons".

It's especially bad if someone is talking while I'm trying to type, because then I start inserting words that they're saying and that never makes sense.

Thanks. :-) I noticed it recently in my writing for class work,and this IS COLLEGE so I hate that I'm screwing up so badly. It has to be presentable since what I type goes on the class messageboard for all to see. :-)

I do that kinda stuff a lot when posting on forums. I assume it was related to my dyslexia & bad motor-skills with typing

This, and being momentarily distracted by some random thought and writing a word from it in place of another.

I have the opposite problem.
i use the same words in a sentence, and since i like to be random it bothers me
