Typing Dyslexia

Post by jerryk25 »

a few years back I had a slight stroke,
I would shake very much, and wasso very slow.
and my typing was affeected to thee point thatt
I had to type offline , go back and correct everything,
then cut and paste the paragraph into the forum post. . .
Otherwise the web page login would " time-out ".
and I would lose my post if i hit " enter " and it sent me back to " login ".

Well, , ,years later. . .and I'm pterry . . . pretty much back . . . .

Now a new idiosyncrasy has crept up upon me.

The weather change is affecting my arthritis in my hands.
I am developing typing dyslexia. . . .

Look at your keyboard . . . . . at the "t" and "u"
my hands no longer synchronize
and when I type the word "about" . . . . . . I get " abotu "
my two trigger fingers are no linger in time with my mind.

I've been noticing ti all day now and I am gettign frsutrated.

There's dang little I can do anymore and rapid response typing
was one thing I thought on which I had a handle.

I know what you mean Jerry, but in my case it is not as severe. My job requires me to write policies and procedures for clients. For decades now, I can't seem to learn to type the words "from" and "form". When I want one, I type the other. Spell check does not catch the error, grammar check often does. This so simple but I can't seem to fix it.

Greetings, Mr. Jim D-

It's a good thing that the "u" key is so distant from the "a" for when I cant.

AS ever,
