ITS GON RAIN - socrates17, on 07/06/2009, -4/+162W and T mixed up?
They must be using a Dvorak keyboard, because otherwise the W and T are no where near each other.

- GregLoire, on 07/06/2009, -4/+108Well, duh, the authorities need citizens to do something they can arrest them for; otherwise they're out of a job. At least they're becoming more honest about it.

- eKalb33, on 07/06/2009, -1/+60Actually, they type everything on their iPhones now. Auto-complete fail.
/s - Lurial, on 07/06/2009, -4/+62"thanks Ollie, we now to to asian reporter Trisha Takinowa who is on location"
- rbarnes, on 07/06/2009, -1/+57'Bout damn time. Now, where're my keys?
- barnsaton, on 07/06/2009, -0/+55TWF?!
- pnunn, on 07/06/2009, -2/+55lex0nyc- actually- it is Jane, as chad is referencing the old weekend updates with Dan Akroyd and Jane Curtain...
- snagglefoof, on 07/06/2009, -1/+49I did this other day. Not with "not" and "now" but a word that started the same way my name does. I went to type one word but ended up with my name.
It happens when the user types the first few letters of key combination and the brain kinda takes over and fills in the rest of a different word.
Haven't you ever been writing and accidentally written the wrong word? It's the same idea. The keys don't have to be near each other. - popltree2, on 07/06/2009, -0/+35Go ***** yourself, San Diego.
- MayorMcCheapo, on 07/06/2009, -2/+37Okay, guess I'll wake up Uncle Drunky and ask for a ride.
- ketchup176, on 07/07/2009, -1/+35*switch the a and o.
Fixed - flammablewater, on 07/06/2009, -0/+34This is what happens when you type headlines in T9 while on the bus late for work.
- ZeroCubed, on 07/06/2009, -0/+33Funny, I use o dvarok keybaord ond I never moke thot mistoke. But I seem ta olwoys switch the o and a.
- evilesttoast, on 07/06/2009, -0/+31Get out of here you Dvorak heretic.
- Treshnell, on 07/06/2009, -0/+31No, he's not an expert on them. He could tell from the shadows.
- bpeacock22, on 07/06/2009, -1/+27Atttt shiw!
- kanojo1969, on 07/06/2009, -1/+26The most obvious explanation is that your fingers start developing memory not just where specific keys are, but entire words. Then, when you send a 'not', sometimes it gets confused and types 'now'.
This has nothing to do with key proximity, because it's an entire word. It seems to be more related to frequency of usage. If today I've been typing 'will' more often than normal, then one time when I ask for 'wall' it's quite likely I'll type 'will' instead.
This happens to me dozens of times a day, because I spend 10 or 12 hours a day typing. Even with Digg posts, I do at least one re-read of what I've typed after submitting it, and I will find typos like that all the time.
And I do this with much bigger words, stuff like automatic and automotive, and I literally have no idea that my fingers ***** it up until I read it later.
I curse the 4 minute edit limit on digg, because I cannot see errors if I proof the textbox while it's still active. I have to submit the message and then proof it, and edit if necessary. I have no idea why I can't detect stuff earlier, but I chalk it up to yet more brain weirdness. - inactive, on 07/06/2009, -4/+27i just drank a fifth of vodka, dare me to drive?
- AmyVernon, on 07/06/2009, -1/+23That's just an awesome screen grab, though.
- lex0nyc, on 07/06/2009, -1/+22The Ghostbuster?
- Daerion, on 07/06/2009, -0/+20Why u hatin'
- premiumballin, on 07/06/2009, -0/+20I would drive her impaired!
- kamakazitp, on 07/06/2009, -1/+20This is from a channel based in Baton Rouge, LA.
The pay scale of the guy who has to type in the on-screen alerts would probably reflect the quality of his proofreading abilities. - pnunn, on 07/06/2009, -0/+18the very same
- bstew22, on 07/06/2009, -0/+17gesundheit

- Drax0n, on 07/06/2009, -0/+15Every picture or video to ever hit the internet that is remotely interesting or unique was obviously faked or shopped.
- surgeongg, on 07/06/2009, -0/+15This man has apparantly seen quite a few shops in his time.

- Scira, on 07/07/2009, -0/+9not you have me wanting to try out a dvorak keyboard.
- kruykaze, on 07/07/2009, -1/+10I don't get it but at least 260 people do :(
- Moralogic, on 07/06/2009, -0/+9I am all for putting them out of a job. That is why I support AI driven vehicles. If I am not controlling my car, and it is going over the speed limit or does something else illegal, it is not my fault unless I modified the programming.
