OT: typing quickly and words ending in 'e'

jonny_trousers

Please tell me I am not the only one afflicted by this really annoying habit of regularly hitting the space bar before the letter 'e' that was meant to end the preceding word (just did it then to type 'th epreceding'). Maybe I'm just special.

I can't type words that end ng without doing g before the n - somethign. Bugs the life out of me.

Every time I start using a new computer with Word (a lot in my job as software implementation geek), first thing I do is make sure the auto-correct has "teh" => "the".

I am similarly afflicted

I often hit the space bar before the last letter of each word rather than after. I don't think it matters what the last letter is.
I didn't do it once whilst typing the above. But had to correct two other typos. I'm just a bit rubbish.

HOlding the shift key down too long is my bane.

not hitting the shift key is mine, I often have to go back and capitalise stuff.

I've also removed the caps lock key from all of my regular physical keyboards. I'm a quite quick typist but have to be looking at the keys to do it and there's nothing worse than glancing up to see I've done a long email or big chunk of a report in SHOUTY TYPE.

You do know in Word (at least) you can correct the ALL CAPS thing easily? There's an auto-correction tool for that... select the text and use the Change Case button in the Fonts toolbox. (Aa is button logo... ) Use "Sentence Case" to set to normal type style.
