How often do you typo?

    It really depends on two main things for me.
    Firstly, whether or not I am using a laptop or desktop keyboard. I have become so used to using my laptop, then when I began using this desktop again, I have been making typos all over the place.

    It also depends on how tired/drunk I am. That really throws my typing of, which is bad, considering how obsessive I am when it comes to formatting and spelling. (Yes, I also insist on using the UK/Aus spelling for everything.)

    Lately I've been making typos so frequently that I've begun to wonder if I should run my comments through a word processor before sending them over MSN. XD

    I suppose I make them a heck of a lot more in a live chat versus a forum where I can type as slowly and accurately as I please. That, and there is always the ever-so convenient edit button here. XD Plus, Firefox automatically draws my attention to words that I may have typed incorrectly.
    (Gee, so much convenience!)

    I don't normally typo, unless I'm unmindful. Theres only 10% chance of me making a typo.
    And thanks to the edit button, sometimes I spot mistakes and correct them. But most of the times they're too unnoticeable anyways...

    I make a type every so often, usually when I'm tired or something.
    Once I notice it I try to either edit it (Forums) or erase it and spell it over (Paper).

    Apparently I type way too fast, and that makes it a chore to keep track of any typos I make until the last second.

    I make typos frequently. But since I usually proofread what I've typed before I hit enter or post I usually catch the typos. I also have a spell checker in Firefox so that helps curb my typos.

    I make a typo about once every five sentences. On messenger, it's usually once every sentence for some reason though.

    I normally always make a typo when I write a post; I touch-type so typos are pretty much compulsory. If Firefox didn't come with a spellchecker, I would've probably given up on the internet by now.

    I have to proofread my posts at least twice.

    That's what I get for typing in both English and Portuguese.
    For instance, two of my tabs right now are English websites, and three are Portuguese. So yeah.

    I rarely make typos unless I'm typing really fast. But I usually pick up on them and fix it before sending the message or post. Unless it's on MSN...

    I only mess up when I'm sleep deprived or hungry, which is most of the time. I proofread my posts on here, but on instant messengers, I'm horrible.

    I'm always making typos.
    A better question is "how often do you not typo?" for me. :(

    About 80% of my post have typos in them. It's because I type really fast and backspacing throws off my awesome speed, so I just don't do it. I usually click "Post Quick Reply" before proof reading, so a lot of my post are edited to fix mistakes.

    *posts and doesn't proofread*

    Never. I had a record in sixth grade for having the highest spelling test average out of all the kids. I know, a great accomplishment.

    P.S. (Post script) Does anyone remember national sex? That was the most epic typo ever. Period.

    I don't make typos that often, but when I do they're ... awesome. Typos inspire me. \o/

    I actually make a moderate amount of typos, I just usually end up seeing them right as I'm typing and fix them. I also proofread everything I type, from school papers to forum posts and deviantART comments.
