How often do you typo? (sh.itjust.works)

I just skimmed my past comments and I noticed I typo a lot. Like probably at least 1 typo every few comments.

Then again I use my phone often so its hard to type, since I do not use autocorrect (don't trust autocorrect)

Quote a few, I catch most.

I have an iPhone — does that count? The keyboard is way worse on my 16 Pro Max (2024) than the one on my Galaxy S10 (2019).

I hate iPhone keyboards so much. It's like they actually hate me. It's almost enough to make me use voice to text for everything. But I can't make my brain and mouth work at the same time.

I swype-type and don't always catch it when different words are used.

[-] Deebster@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago

Same, and they can be some truly baffling typos.

All the time. Its really embarrassing tbh. Got worse when I accidentally turned off autocorrect for a month.

With t9? Never. I even typed in full sentences with proper punctuation and grammar!

With a slid-out half-keyboard? Never.

With a full QWERTY (HTC Dream was amazing): Never.

With a giant sweet on-screen keyboard? Every other word. Sometimes like five in a row. Autocorrect catches almost all of them, but it’ll rarely bug out and not work, and I’ll take that as a challenge to finish my paragraph even if copying/restarting the program would fix it… and I do very poorly.

Apparently every tyime I start typing a response to this question.

[-] disregardable@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

Extremely common. I got into this unfortunate habit of hitting post and then editing typos afterward, and I think it increased the amount I do it by a lot.

[-] yessikg@fedia.io 1 points 2 months ago

A lot, I have dyslexia and English is not my first language

[-] otacon239@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

On a keyboard, almost never. From my phone, nearly every other comment. I have a lot of edits lol.

[-] serpineslair@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Probably quite often on mobile, however I type very quickly and no autocorrect (same as you) so I get quite quick at deleting what I've typed and trying again lol.

[-] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 months ago

It's all typos all the way down. I was actually trying to type a totally different comment.

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 1 points 2 months ago

I find myself often going back and ninja editing a post I just made. Even though I read over it before I submitted. Used to not be this bad; my thoughts and grammar, even in a gaming chat, were coherent. Oh well.

[-] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

FYI: On newer versions of Lemmy's front end, it doesn't show edits made withint 5 minutes anymore, but if you view it from, say, Piefed, it still shows (pretty sure).

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 1 points 2 months ago

I think that may be a shared thing among the different software, Mbin seems to give you a few minutes without labeling it.
