    I’m usually okay with typing my own name, but I’ve surprised myself a number of times by typing Satan instead of Sarah.

    Main reason I chose Rachel and not Racheal (Rachael?)

    I’ve sold software licneses licenses for the last 8 years, and still type the word wrongly every time.

    Retards,

    maintain vs maintenance is another one, it should be “maintainance” 🙂

    I tend to be a NAthan on emails, I’m also struggling with smaples samples in reports.

    I can type mine fine, so much so that whenever I write someone’s name who’s vaguely like mine, I actually end up writing mine.

    So everyone called Nicky/Nikki, Neil, Nigel, Niall etc just gets called Nick. It’s easier that way.

    My question exactly. 😯

    Anyway, my perpetual mis-spell is teh. Teh number of times I manage to do this when writing is virtually uncountable.

    It’s words ending with ‘ing’ for me.

    plus wwaswas isn’t really my name, it’s a tpyo.

    wife or boss?

    Neither. Usually clients. However, it’s still quite frightening to realise I’ve begun an email with, “Dear Satan”, or with the more familiar, “Hi Satan”.

    Like Tom with his software ‘licneses’ I’ve spent years typing ‘installanio’ instead of ‘installation’.

    Of course you can choose your own name.

    I went to Uni with a guy who changed his name from something ordinary, (Andrew Wilson, I think) to The Mad Bush.

    That’s what it says on his degree certificate for his BA in Commerce with Information Management.

    The Mad Bush.

    Deep down, I know it’s wrong, but the whole industry does it wrong, so I guess it’s right?

    Millions of wrong’s make a right, yes?

    I’m glad I wasn’t the first to mention it… 🙂

    Put “advice” or “advise” in instead, and use the same letter as that.

    Unless you’re American, in which case you can be lazy and just put “s” everywhere. Unless it’s actually “z”. *head explodes*

    Anyway. I struggle immensely with typing “minimum”. Whoever laid out the qwerty keyboard obviously never used the word…

    I never write my name with a capital letter or I get called Lolo (as in miss Ferrari). I looks like L on emails.

    Name I’m ok with.

    The number of times a colleague has thrown a property report back at me where it is located on a “busty” road, rather than a busy one. 😳

    Not if you work in software it isn’t. We had an IT guy who decided to correct this for us many years ago. So our customers would download the software, install it, get a “license locking code” which had to be emailed to licence_info@ourcompany.com and then receive a license file back… You wouldn’t believe the mayhem it caused.

    I quite often end emails with “Mikie” instead of Mike – it’s not a name I’ve ever used with anyone, esp at work 😳 but the main trouble is that I never notice it until the exact moment I press send 🙄

    No problem typing it, but for whatever reason I can never spell my surname when signing for a delivery.
