I have a weird thing where I completely miss a word out or double a word up in what I am typing. It also takes me absolutely ages to spot it when it happens.

For example, I will do this:

I have a weird thing where I completely miss a word out or double a word up in what I am typing. It also me absolutely ages to spot it when it happens.

-Or-

I have a weird thing where I completely miss a word out or double a word up in what I am typing. It also takes me absolutely ages to spot it when when it happens.

I also thought this would be about the Forum bug where it does not add the text your are quoting to a reply for some reason.

The first one happens to me a lot. Never noticed the second one though and never been pulled up on it.

But yeah, I miss words out sentences all the time and it usually escapes my cursory glance.

Iphone proof reads posts for me, randomly changing words to what ever it tomatoes

RetiredGreyFox · 19 Jul 2016 at 22:21

I proof read at least 5 times.
I also have to write on separate lines so it makes sense.
If I don't then it all gets jumbled up.
I've redone at least 5 spelling mistakes during this post.

This! Although some people don't even try.

I proofread all of Tefal's posts.

I may need to put you on retainer

Shouldn't need to proofread its a forum not a exam

Who browses the web with the window maximised on a widescreen monitor, let alone ultrawide!

Do you ever proof read it before clicking submit and find that some words aren't what they are supposed to be? I mean sometimes I could swear I have typed everthing correctly but or reading it back words like Looks will be typed as Loads, and various other typos that I fail to remember at the moment.
Is it me or is the website playing silly beggers with me?

I do this all the time. It's not the website, it's your brain.

I usually read everything back, and then read it again after posting and go back and correct anything that needs it. Sometimes that isn't possible but that's the usual approach.
