I don't type good

While I type fast (110-120 wpm as at September 2005, according to Typer Shark), I sure as hell don't claim to type accurately. Here's some typos I've had to teach Microsoft Word to autocorrect:

• abnout, abonut, abotu, actualyl, againstt he, agian, ahppen, ahve, almsot, alterantive, althoguh, alwasy, amde, amke, antoher, approrpiate, askt he, aws
• baout, bcause, beacuse, becasue, befoer, beofre, bve, byt he
• certian, Chiantown, commnunist, commuity, compelx, coudl,, cpoy
• deatils, develope, dispaly, doign, donig
• efel, ehr, enw, erally, esle, especialyl, evn, ewre, exchagne, eyt
• finalyl, fora, foriegn, foudn, frmo, fromt he

• saidt he, shoudl, Singaproe. Singpaore, sitll, smae, smoe, sohw, soical, somethign, somewaht. sot hat, soudn, specificalyl, stnad, strentgh, suprise
• tahn, taht, talkign, tath, teh, tehre, tehy, tgat, tgheir, tghis, thansk, thatt he, them ost, theri, thge, thigsn, thna, thne, thnig, thsi, thsoe, tihs, timne, tkae, tlaking, togehter, tongiht, tot he, towrad
• udnerstand, understnad, undert he, univeristy, unliek, usch
• waht, whihc, whta, wiht, witht he, wlel, wnat, wrod, wtih

(For the record, it took about half an hour to manually transfer the above list from Word and format it for Blogger.)

Obviously, without the autocorrect function, I'd spend most of my time backspacing rather than typing ...
