Spelling wose

Argh.

I'm writing a proposal. It uses one particular word a lot: regimen.

I keep wanting to type the words either side of it, either regime or regiment. If I do so, of course the spell checker won't notice.

Sounds like my standard spelling of ratio:
R-A-T-I-O-N-BACKSPACE

That's at least reasonably understandable, if annoying. What I couldn't figure out was my fingers' habit of typing “pythonk” instead of “python”.

My typo bugaboo is "Untied Stats." Totally unobjectionable to Word, but boy do you get funny looks. I've chosen to auto-correct, on the basis that if I ever actually do want to type "untied stats" it would be an exception, rather than the rule.
