Where did the FT come from.... Well.. When you are sitting at the keyboard have you ever told your fingers to press T H E in that order and seen TEH appear on the screen? I know for a fact I have and in fact one hunk of software I use (or used) the ICON for Spell Check was the letters TEH in that order.

Now that's just one example of the TYPO

There are many others, one common one is wrong hand I mean you plan on hitting The but hit Yhe instead (Same finger position, wrong hand, for a touch typist)

And then there is just flat "I hit the wrong button"

Now,,,, The only thing that saves me from dozens of typos per message is auto-speil clunk
