Dyslexic Fingers?

Plastic

Am I the only one bothered by my own typing errors?    My fingers seem to have a mind of their own and deliberately punch the wrong keys all the time - just to annoy me. Smiley

I read through my posts and see lots of spelling errors - which drives me nuts - my need (compulsion) for perfection forces me to edit the post over and over to remove the mistakes.

I have an RSA in typing and computer literacy (from 35 years ago Smiley ) - but my fingers want to embarrass me at every chance.   Smiley

  • Many years ago, I passed RSA level 3, when both my speed and accuracy were excellent.  I prefer to work on a desktop PC rather than the smaller devices, but my speed and accuracy has noticeably deteriorated on all devices. It is rather reassuring to read that others are having the same problems although I'm not so sure it's down to ASD, as I see it all over the internet.

    I can't see a spell-check on this forum, or am I missing something?
