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 [s]licneses[/s] licenses for the last 8 years, and still type the word wrongly every time.

Retards,

Tom.

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.

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. 😳

Freud would love me.

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.

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.

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.....
