You know when your fingers automatically complete a particular word through force of habit - even if you were aiming for something else?

I just tried to type the word "endure" for a work thing - and it came out as "enduro".

Made me smile anyway.

Not quite the same thing but, I've been typing it on almost a daily basis since the mid 90s and I still typo "administrator" more often than I get it right on a first attempt. A pox on Microsoft and all their houses for not using "admin".

I type something along the lines of:

pubic int Id { get; set; }

... at least a dozen times a day.

You can tell people who work in IT by their inability to type "serve" correctly; an "r" magically appears at the end each time...
