Your most common writting errors.

[NoOne852]

As the name of the title implies, what is the writting error that you find yourself producing most often? (aside from spelling a word incorrectly)

If I'm distracted I will usually repeat words. For example: "I would run if I wasn't so tired, I would run."

I suck at writing my native language(Spanish). But for some odd reason I am not that bad with English...

In the past 2 weeks I've apparently used the world apparently quite a bit and have misspelled it every time.

But apparently Firefox has corrected me this time.

I will relatively frequently inject internet shorthand into formal documents. "Tho" is the big one i have to watch out for, cause spellcheck won't pick it up.

 

[Kingme18]

I cannot for the life of me spell definitely... except for that time right there...

 

[Sleekgiant]

I dunno why but I always misspell again, by putting the i first, like this = agian.

Its just a habit, I always find myself doing it.

Misspelling writing as writting, that gets me every time...

 

[Shockolate]

I have an annoying habit of writing the words "with" and "the" as "withe" whenever they are side by side.

At this point, when I realize that I put "withe" my first thought is "Of course I did."

I'm assuming misspelling "writing" was intentional?

I'll occasionally mix up it's and its, but only if I'm typing quickly.

 

[Aiden Raine]

I only capitalize "I", and proper nouns. I also only leave 1 space after a period, even though it's apparently debatable whether it should be only 1 or 2 spaces.

Happens to me all the time, one of the few things I have an issue with.
One of the major problems I have as Biology major is whoever designed the Microsoft Word spell checker HATES scientists. Seriously, every 3rd word is underlined as a misspelling. It's crazy how little it knows.

I tend to omit words when writing. I won't even see it on re-reads. Usually small words, such that spellcheck doesn't even pick up on it.

 

[ace_of_something]

When writing I have a really bad tendency to haphazardly use commas, only leave one space after a sentence, and capitalize the word "I" when I feel like it. Oh, then and than when typing i rarely pay attention and use the wrong one. Even though I know the difference. Guess I'm just lazy.


When speaking, I sometimes start telling stories in the middle. Then I have to back up and start at the beginning and end up retelling 2/3rds of the story. I'm working on that though.

I can also be annoyingly loquacious and have a habit of speaking really quickly when I'm excited.

if autocorrect doesnt catch it, idc.

 

[Vykrel]

i tend to write with too many commas, and i never really know when a semicolon should be used

 

[Koroviev]

I have a tendency to misuse contractions. This is avoided by typing everything out in full, then condensing it.

"Necessary."

Holy shit, I got it first time. Now this post won't be as funny as I planned.

Usually I can never remember where the 'S's and 'C's go.
