Missing Letters

[caseyjo]

Whats going on?...For the life of me I can't understand why I keep forgetting to type the H in the word "Nothing" I keep noticing it over & over again....I have been having to delete my posts & repost because of continuous missing letters of words I know how to spell...Could this be the beginning of Alzheimer's....I'm not even 60 yet.

My motor skills don't seem to allow me to capitalize letters.  I dunno, I really need to proof everyting very closely.

I'm over sixty, btw.

Hummmm....whats up w/ that I wonder? Could it be you just dont like the extra work of Capitalizing so you have a sub-conscious thing going on? I dont like to proof read everything so closely, but it ends up costing me more time than if I proof read everything..Go figure.

I'm 60 caseyjo, and I have noticed for the last couple years that I seem to have some type of dyslexia when typing. (I am not really a typist, more a two finger hunt and peck) I don't really notice it anywhere else in my life. I proof read most of my posts, but stuff still slips by me.  

 

OK. I just went through the above post, and fixed 3 mistakes. But that may have something to do with the margaritas.

I notice I get my letters mixed up all the time..strangest thing. I have been thinking the exact same thing..some type of dyslexia? I have also noticed when I write a letter it seems much more difficult than it used to...I figured that was because my fingers are used to dancing on the keyboard.....but the letter transposing? Letters totally missing, or the correct letters in the wrong position.....Hummm. I wonder if it may be something worth getting checked out? Maybe a vitamin deficiency or something...Not a good thing.

I do the very same things.....this is kinda freaky!!!

[caseyjo]

Freaky is right, but nice to know I am not the only one who goes through this.....Did either one of you ever have trouble in school?....I'm wondering if this might be something we have always had, but didn't realize it until we started doing a lot of typing.

[Bob Stepp]

Never had trouble in school....

[caseyjo]

I did for a while in grade school, but my Mom helped correct it using Q cards....Q cards....something not obsolete far as I know.

[caseyjo]

I am also thinking it may have someting to do wit specific words....Notice that H? Freekin scary......

I'm 59 TBD

Oh, my gosh, you guys! The same thing's been happening to me! It's weird & scary! I'm a bit of a grammar snob, so the frequent mistakes I'm making are out of character for me. I'm even doing things I never did before, like typing "their" when I mean "they're"! ;-p

[caseyjo]

Same here D's girl.....Now I am hearing this is a real problem.  I am going to do some on-line research into this as soon as I have time......
