Letter inversions while typing

Post Reply New Topic

I also do this a lot both in typing and writing, I often find myself writing letters/words which are further along in my train of thought than the point at which I've written them down.

I find that my right-hand types slightly quicker than my left-hand, so when touch typing, I have to make sure that I get the letters in the right order...

I've never heard of anyone doing it while writing by hand, other than those with dyslexia. I would imagine it's worth getting that checked out - I believe if you are registered with dyslexia, you can get extra time in exams etc. if you're still at school / studying for fun...

Numbers give me trouble sometimes too, especially the zeros or any time a single digit is repeated several times in a row.

I have a tendency to invert letters or flip them when I'm searching for keys when I'm not staring at my hands while typing. Like I have a huge tendency to mix the letters p, d, or b while typing. It gets very annoying at times It's kinda funny though because the keys on my keyboard are shown in Caps so P, D, and B look nothing alike. I'm not sure how I started this habit.

Not sure.

I know I do it...not sure how often. Handwriting more than typing. In math, I've transposed numbers (transpose is the term you're thinking of). I also can do both at the same time. I go to say 74 and say 47, but if I'm writing, I write the number correctly while saying it wrong.

We.., I don't do that letter inversion in my handwriting. What happens quite often, though, is that I write "withe" instead of "with the", or something like that. When a word ends with the same letter combination as the next words begins with, I usually combine these two.
Especially this "withe" is driving me nuts, because I do that almost every single time. It's annoying.
