Mark
I'm usually okay with typing my own name, but I've surprised myself a number of times by typing Satan instead of Sarah.
Boob
Main reason I chose Rachel and not Racheal (Rachael?)
I absolutely can never spell "impingement" right first time... I can do my name though..
typing Satan instead of Sarah
wife or boss?
Main reason I chose Rachel
You chose your own name....?
I've sold software [s]licneses[/s] licenses for the last 8 years, and still type the word wrongly every time.
Retards,
Tom.
maintain vs maintenance is another one, it should be "maintainance" 🙂
Jef is a lot easier than Jeffrey, Jeffery, Geoffrey, Geoffery, Geoff, Jeff,
your own name
No that seemed ok to me, no problems with that.
Tom, I hate to tell you but.... 😀
Nope.
I do get called Percy a lot on here though.
I'm another MArk 😳
You chose your own name....?
of course you can.
Max Power
I'm often Tboy
I tend to be a NAthan on emails, I'm also struggling with [s]smaples[/s] 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.
You chose your own name....?
My question exactly. 😯
Anyway, my perpetual mis-spell is teh. Teh number of times I manage to do this when writing is virtually uncountable.
Definitely MArk here 😳
It's words ending with 'ing' for me.
plus wwaswas isn't really my name, it's a tpyo.
typing Satan instead of Sarahwife 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'.
IT'S BLOODY LICENCES!!
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.

Hitting the caps lock by mistake IS ANOTHER ONE, YES.
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?
Fair POINT.
IT'S BLOODY LICENCES!!
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.
I've seen an email signature today that starts...
Thanks, Lynd's.
Her name is Lyndsey.
another one here for 'teh'.
god it grates.
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. 😳
Freud would love me.

Did you get it from a hairdryer?
I seem to have a block writing account which can be a problem in my job

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.
Thanks, Lynd's.

I work for a US team but am based in the UK.
Believe me, I would.
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.
I never have problems writing mine, and the predictive spell check nearly always gets there ahead of me anyway.
I keep my driving license* near me at all times in case I ever have to write my middle name. 40 yrs of practice and I still can't remember which [s]Alisdair, Alistair Alastair Alasdare Alisdare Alastare[/s] Stoner I am.
*mleh
Sturat.
About 50% of the time...
Oh, and "Thnaks" is so common, that I've added it to the auto-correct function...
My middle name is Garry. My primary school teacher managed to get me eventually to spell it Gary consistently. I was so proud that mentioned it to my dad who showed me his passport and my birth certificate.
Other problems are gaurd and my current favourite scum masters.
When I used to have to sign all the company cheques (during my brief dalliance with having a job)- over a period of 3 years my signature slowly evolved / dissolved / truncated until it started to read as.....
God
I'm always doing this Lorne becomes Lonre Loren or lrone
And I always go to work on my communting bike
Yes! in fact i earned the nickname Derk in one of my jobs due to signing off an email and not noticing.

Deek
Grew up with a ZX Spectrum, I could touch type my name before I could spell it.
I can manage my name but I tend to preface it with Regrads.
For some reason I can never type retunring right grr, oh, also along with statement, which comes out in a variety of guises, staement, stanment, satemnetm etc etc
