Do you find that if something, or someone, forces you to type slower you're much more likely to have typos, spelling errors, etc?

Asked by Dutchess_III (47126points) November 8th, 2017

I was spelling the word “instrument” on Facebook. In the middle of it there was a glitch and it wasn’t typing in what I was typing. When it woke back up it was spelled SO wrong that spell check couldn’t even read it! I finally deleted it and quickly typed the word again with no error.

I used to have a computer illiterate boss. She was a hunt and peck kind of person. She often asked me to slow down because she couldn’t “see” that I was doing. I use a lot of short cut keys, which she didn’t approve of. She finally stood behind me and demanded that I slow down. (She had really bad breath, too!)
Unable to follow my own flow and rhythm left me kind of stumbling. This was after my surgery. She nodded silently as if to say “I knew it. I knew there was something wrong with you since you came back.”

More than likely so. I have slowed down alot on this smart phone because the type is so small and I goof more than on my laptop. But at least this doodad spells the words out for me so that helps alot.

Oh yeah @Mimishu1995. She kept doing things to fluster me. She had become convinced I was permanently brain damaged after my surgery. The fact was, I had some pretty significant memory loss of the weeks leading up to it, but I was fine when I got out of the hospital. But she had made up her mind before she even saw me again. Apparently my husband had made it sound much worse than it was. So my boss kept looking for “things” to prove my incompetency, and of course, if you look hard enough you’ll find something, or imagine that you do. So, four months after I went back to work I was fired.
