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)

    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.

        My boomer mom and all her friends have iPhones. They all typo. They all complain about the keyboard. She’s given up now, since she’s sundowning hard and life for her is just too short. She vomits some letter chowder and we eventually figure it out.

        Wasnt apple supposed to be a pro-people best-UX utopia?

    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.

      Same here. I mostly type on my phone alot. So autocorrect here is a lifesaver, either that or I will type slower/ with one thumb.

      Same, I struggle with posting before reading on the phone especially. My confidence despite only being 10% as accurate on the phone is exactly the same after finishing typing on the phone.

    All day every day for me. I have a lot of difficulty with paying attention to certain sorts of details and typos are for sure in that category.

    What’s even worse is when I know how to spell a word and have used it for years of my life, only to have a brain fart one day and completely butcher it over doubts, half-formed ideas, brain fog or whatever else. I recently spelled ‘pacifism’ as something like ‘passifiscm’, looked at it and thought “WhAt a WeIrDlY SpELleD wOrD” before continuing on. Not a single thought more was spent on it until someone else, lightly and politely, corrected me on it lol

    Edot: typos 😭

    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.
