Comment on Ask HN: How do I help a colleague who introduces a lot of typos?parent

Comments

I remember that i did not used to make typos but since a particular period that i vaguely rememebr i have noticed that i make more and more of them.

That "rememebr" has great comedic timing :D .. but as far as I can see it's the only typo too.

I've read that aging doesn't happen in a constant rate but at some ages it accelerates. I pride myself of having a high IQ but as I get older I notice the cognitive decline. I'm not being an elitist, but it makes me wonder if the way I feel now is what people with "slower" brains feel like all the time (I've only known what it feels like inside my own brain, obviously)

Haha, good catch. I do not think that typing should fall under ageing though. And that period which I mentioned was in my early 20s, maybe even late teens. So it's not like it got worse when I hit 50(which is still far far away). I attribute it to faster typing. More speed but also more mistakes. And it is predominantly the out-of-order hit of right finder before left finger.
