Typo is short for typographical error. I get most of mine when typing in low light, typing too fast, and when my fat fingers hit two keys at the same time
I learned to type in the 9th grade, and later in life have had lots of computer-related work so I'm the same. But I type on my phone and I tend to make errors doing that regularly, plus autocorrect can be downright hilarious at times!I simply type fast. Lighting does not matter. I don't watch or glance at keys.
Autocorrect can be hilarious. I have seen collections of screenshots. I use Android and predictive typing, not autocorrect. It can still occasionally produce some pretty strange sentences.I learned to type in the 9th grade, and later in life have had lots of computer-related work so I'm the same.

I hate when that happens. Sure, I can still type, since I only look at my fingers to place them or when I'm too lazy to sit up straight, I type one fingered. It happens when they make the key caps cheaply. The laptop I'm using now is three years old and the key caps are not fading because, the are made correctly. The letters are embedded in the plastic key cap. They aren't just printed onto the surface.The letters on my keyboard are mostly worn off, lol.
With current computers, the numeric keypad is a standard too-narrow-to-touch-calculate. It doesn't see to change between 'puters. Have a look. The numeric keypad keys are narrower than the letter keys. Since I used to enter loads of numbers, I like to touch type number on the numeric keypad. It's hard to get it right with those danged narrow keys. grrrWith each new computer you have to learn to place your fingers all over again. None of them are ever spaced the same.
Are you using a PC or a laptop? I don't know if they do that on PCs. I have thin fingers and they barely fit on the key pad. I can usually make it work, but I make a lot more typos than I did with the wider keys. This actually started before I retired. Tax returns and bookkeeping just sort of requires a lot of number entry.Funny, I never noticed that taxy, but I use the number keypad a lot. Don't seem to have a problem with it.
I have a terrible time with the numbers above the letter keys - can't for the life of me remember them. But the side keypad... whizzzzz
Yeah, who would have guessed that learning to type on a manual typewriter, back in the day, was going to be so useful. I have no idea why I chose typing as an elective. I was very academically oriented. I majored in math and science in high school. I didn't think I would ever have a use for typing. But, darn, it's useful. I don't even think about it. I just think the words and my fingers do what they are supposed to do and the words appear on screen.I had few letters until I got the new laptop in July. I love the homing keys on this laptop. I really don't believe that I will wear them down. Like others, I learned to 10-finger type back in school. Likely one of the most useful classes ever.
