I swear sometimes I feel like I’ve done the dumbest shit possible and I don’t know why I did it. For example I posted about a G23 I just bought and for some reason when I mentioned the night sights I spelled it sites. I’m far from a spelling bee champ but I know the difference between sight and site. Somehow I realized my mistake several hours later while trying to go to sleep.

Either I must be accidentally on some mind altering narcotics or I’m just getting old and the Jack Daniels is catching up.

That whole “your” and “you’re” thing is one of my pet language peeves, but just recently I caught myself using the wrong one. Karma, I guess, for criticizing others.

I understand your concern. I rarely read a post before I send it off, only to revisit that post and realize auto correct or auto fill decided to insert a different spelling or entirely different word.

Now, I must reread this post!

My smell checker makes me say things I didn't Nintendo.

Eggactly!

If you didn't punch any holes in the wall, I'd rule out cocaine.

I usually get it rite, no make that write, no, screw it, I get it correct most of the time when I type it myself.

Sometimes the auto-spell, auto-complete, thing gets screwy and I might not notice it.

Being your own Grammar/Spelling Nazi is a curse onto itself.

I find that I type “you” when I mean to use “your”. I will review an e-mail before sending it and have to correct it. I figure I'm just lazy.

I often times type "the the" leaving out the subject. No idea why.

When I spell something incorrect, it's usually so wrong that there is no way for my electronics to assist me.
