teh problem with my typing


Walsingham

Recommended Posts

I have discovered that - probably thanks to autocorrect - I now type the word 'the' as 'teh' more often than not. I've turned off autocorrect on everything, but that hasn't fixed it. I was wondering if there is already in existence, or could be made, a program that emits a piercing shriek every time I do this, to condition me not to.

Dammit! I want to fix it, not embrace it. You people are like L33t Vader.

Every time you write "teh" pinch your left nut really really hard.

Then I'll have crushed walnut everywhere.

Just keep the auto-correct off, and it will get better with time. Make sure that a fair proportion of what you write is intended for readers who think 'teh' is a mistake.

 

I have the whole auto-correction and auto-formatting lot turned off all the time, otherwise I'd be scared to touch the tab key.

Practise typing. Put the keyboard on your lap, under the desk, so that you cannot see it, then type, looking at the screen. Practice regularly, until you are pleased with your typing skillz0rz.

You might as well embrace it. Give up and be assimilated :)

 

It's part of a natural, evolutionary process. Languages change over time. If not, you would still be talking like a bad Shakespeare novel :)

 

Just look what happens to language elsewhere. We Danes have to go to Iceland to see what our "original" language sounded like a millennia ago. Americans drop the U of many OU syllables (e.g. colour -> color, amour - > armor, volourn -> volon etc.)

 

When enough people spell it wrong, it becomes the correct new way of spelling it. Face teh reality.

So what you are saying is that if we all type Volourn as Volorn, his name will change? :)
