On Wednesday, I wrote about my challenges in using the letter “r” and the “f” correctly so that I could type “or” when that is what I meant and “of” when I intended to use that – instead of accidently typing the wrong word and ending up with a “piece or cake” instead of a “piece of cake.”

Now, I have uncovered yet another typing challenge. Did you know that the “i” and the “o” were exactly next to each other on the keyboard? Of course you did.

Imagine that. Two adjacent vowels – 3 actually, if you count the “u” to the left. I hadn’t really thought about it until I started making some unusual spelling mistakes.

“Of” and “if” actually have different meanings, so instead of typing “piece of cake” I have typed “piece if cake.” Doesn’t make much sense, does it?

Then occasionally I type “ot” for “it” which is doubly confusing because in my haste I often type “ot” for “to.” And so it goes.
