Do any of you, when typing, ever like, skip a word, or put a COMPLETELY different word in place of the one you want? One that's not even the least bit related to it? Like, I'll want to say, "He doesn't want to go home." and I'll be thinking about food and put food instead of home.
 So I apologize for any future retarded typing errors I make.

Uh. Yeah. At least, I used to..a lot.
Usually, it's something like an extra "I" or a food, or a song lyric.. Crap. I just did it right now by adding "duh" instead of "I"  . Damn. I was hoping it would be something sexual, as it always is. |

I do that a lot.
Especially when you're writing or typing something and somebody's talking at the same time and you're trying to listen, but you end up typing what they say by mistake...

happens to me all the time. I'd be talking like about school or something. and if something catches my eye like a bird i'd be like "ooohhhh.. look a bird!!" -points-
and even when im talking, everythings going fine and yeah and then all of a sudden in the middle i'd be like "uhh.. what was i talking about again" I heard somewhere that having too much vitamins [gummytype] can be bad for you.And that it'll cause A.D.D. 2's the max for like teens or something. And i think once i had like 10 >_> So im guessing thats the cause for my slowness |

Typing? I do that SPEAKING. I'm so backwards sometimes that I forget what I'm saying right in the middle of saying it. I'll just get sidetracked and if I think about something else for just a second, I'm completely gone..
But yes, I often do type words that aren't even close to what I mean. I'm just thinking too fast for my typing, so while my mind is waiting for my fingers to catch up, I start thinking about other things and then another word gets stuck in there.. So yeah, wow, that made no sense.

I actually like combine words. When I type fast, I'm either trying to get my point across or I'm in a hurry to get all my words out. I'm thinking of the words as I type them and as I'm typing one word, I'm thinking of the next or the next next, etc.
Other times, I mix up "you" and "me" and "I." I say really random/stupid things when I'm with my darling. Like we could be making out and as we take small breaks (take clothes off  ) I'll look around his room and be like, "Wow, that trash is still there?" or "Ooo! What's that?" or "I thought I cleaned up in here last time, what the hell happened?" Or afterwards, I'll say weird things most people won't want to hear about "I was watching this weird French porn and the woman was just so unkempt, her pubic hair was as bushy and thick as umm, (I look around), your ugly fur thing. I'm not even kidding!"He never really gets turned off, just amused. |

Well I often make such stupid mistakes, or just repeat a word three times in one sentence while there should've been two other words in place.
Actually, when speaking english I make all kinds of stupid mistakes, guess that is because I'm dutch. So.. apologies in advance.

lol I do that when I'm listening to a song or thinking about a song and I start typing the lyrics of the song instead of whatever it was I planned on typing. And then, of course, I forget what I was going to type and I have to start all over again. :(

Yeah,
or if I'm talking to someone on the phone and reading something and I'm trying to tell so and so a story through the phone, i replace some words with the stuff that i'm reading. not a good idea. and when i'm talking to someone but i'm not really listening to them and think about something else, i'll replace a word with the topic i'm thinking about. ok that was confusing. |

yeah that happens to me sometimes.
i would want to say something like, "did you tell [name]?" and at the same time, i would be looking at a pencil, and i would say "did you tell pencil?" sometimes i switch my words around. instead of saying.. i dunno.. "cheese doodle"; i would end up saying "dheese coodle". its funky ;D |

Haha. I do that all the time. If I'm typing and I'm talking to someone, I'll type a few of his/her words or if I'm listening to a song, I'll type out some of the lyrics. I'll skip a word occasionally or I'll combine two consecutive words together. I'm sure it's normal though. =]

i do that all the time..
you should really hear me tell stories.. there entertaining to listen to, and hard to follow.. i go back and forth and repeat myself get distracted for a minute or to and talk about how i wanna bake or something then i also make major hand motions.. and talk really fast.. and depending on my mood the pitch and speed increases or decreases but when it comes to typing i go slow and read over what i have a few times before i send it cause i know there is alot of mistakes between me having constant drama, ADHD (im not on meds mom refuses even if i think i should at least try and see if it helps), dysgraphia ( for those that dont know its a handwriting disorder look it up if you wanna know more), and dyslexia ( reading again if you dont know what that is you can look it up =]) |
