Right Brain Left Brain

What does it say about a person if they commonly make the following typos?

For example:

teh instead of the
waht instead of what
ohter instead of other

I've noticed this among many on OT (incl. myself) and the only thing I can come up with is one hand is faster than the other. Is this a right brain (I almost typed brian) left brain thing? Dominant hand versus recessive? And doc's - Livi?

Just curious!

I hvae been doing that a lot lately. I **** you not, the mispelled "have" I just did was not intentional. I do it with certain words all the damn time all of a sudden. Another that I screw up is "again", I always type "agian".

It's starting to really piss me off and even worry me a little as I never had this problem before.

I know exactly how you feel. I can type fairly fast and I do it a lot. Then I have to go back and fix them all. It's not a spelling issue - I think it's a timing thing - but sometimes I think it has something to do with vowels.

I'm with Jim, I'm pretty sure I'm just going insane. Oh well, it could be worse.
