Today's Peeve of the Day, Wednesday 29th August. (zip code, letter, property)

[Jezer]

gOOD MORNING PEEVERS.

Ever done what I just did in the sentence above?

I'm often doing that. I put the caps lock on in order to enter a postcode- our equivilant of your ZIP code that also requires letters- and then forget to switch it off. Because I'm a poor typer I don't always look at the scree, but the keyboard, as I type with two fingers.

Maybe there's another silly thing that has happened to you as you type? Let us know because the POTD is;

Mishaps whilst typing on the computer.

Morning Jezer! Good one! Why does the Enter key need to be so d@mn big? All those false launches ...... Yeah, I type terribly. If I try to hurry I'll hit all sorts of things ..caps...shift....enter...by mistake. The forum should have audio capabilities for us typing impaired members.

Ha ha, the keyboard on my lapto p has a habit of "jumping" up a line while I'm typing, sometimes it's...oh see that? It just did that by itself. It's annoying and need to get it fixed

[country pride]

Mine does that too, or it'll scroll all the way to the bottom and here I am typing away. Arrrrgh!

Good morning everyone! My HP laptop, purchased brand new in March, does the same thing. I have been told "laptops are just finicky sometimes and you really also need a desktop." Yeah, and I have some great swamp property in Florida for sale . . . (lol).

Jezer, you're doing a great keyboard job if you are using the "h & p" method.

Have a good day, everybody, and don't "peeve" too much!

[emcee squared]

I do, but usually fix it before I post. I am extremely OCD when it comes to proper capitalization or grammar. Even if my grammar is horrid, I want it to look right to me.

Also, my wrist sometimes hits the track pad on my laptop and moves the cursor to the middle of the sentence I'm typing, screwing everything up.

I was out of the room one time and heard the sound notification that someone was pinging me - turned out to be the president of the company. Was in such a hurry to ping him back that I answered standing up - next thing I see is him going "What?" I looked down and I had typed: coijd;lkna doiufem, niodigje 2diiodjght that guy has no sense of humor either

[Cunucu Beach]

At least they are easily corrected. Not like in the old days when we had to use typewriters.

[AksarbeN]

Yes,,, the upper case can be annoying however it's not always something that is intentional. I avoid it unless I want to make a POINT.

[PAhippo]

well, I just watch the key board in case some of those letters move.

ya just can't trust 'em, ya know?
