Common spelling/grammar mistakes you make

[crofty1984]

For some reason, I always try to type "idea" with a capital I. I don't have a clue why, but I have to conciously make the effort to type it properly. Also, I can never remember how to spell necccesssary. When I was a kid, a teacher told me it was something to do with castles and spires, but that just confused me more.

Who else has any linguistic quirks?

The main one I do is typing jsut instead of just.

You'll have to be a bit more conscious about your conciously!.Whatever grammar issues people have will always be pounced upon in this place,way before your post has been replied to sensibly!.My main 'quirk' seems to be 'teh' instead of 'the',but just when typing though??.

Castles and spires be damned, just remember 'one C and two Ss'.

I still have trouble with separate/seperate and priveleged (sp)

hte is a very common one for me.

My problem is i think one hand types faster than the other. Other than that i use the spell checker that you can get for firefox!

I still spell receipt and receive/d wrong - I may well have done it again here.

Defiantly!

'yuo' including all extensions of it. In fact, any word where 'o' follows 'u' I normally mis-type.
