Jess22   10 #16 Posted October 19, 2007 I've just done a search, but found nothing. I've heard something about this before ... I've noticed that JoeP always seems to write 'teh' for the. It can't always be a typo can it? Is it some kind of code?  Do enlighten me please. (And no taking the michael if you please!)   I asked the same question a while ago but the thread got closed down  It's something I really don't understand. People get slated for spelling and grammer on here, but is seems ok to mis-spell the most simple and commonly used word in the english language. If is is a mistake, as some people say, then it is bad that so many people seem to make it without correcting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Jess22   10 #17 Posted October 19, 2007 Oh dear...oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. It's something I've always had - when I was a kid I suffered from a slight dyslexia - bd reversals, gp reversals, etc. I sometiems have issues getting vowels and consonants in the wrong order, and have to work hard to prevent it.   That explains things a lot more clearly. Thanks for the honesty JoeP. So what is everyone elses reason? Are there people that truley write teh because it is an internet geeky thing to do.

the-lioness   10 #18 Posted October 19, 2007 Rich also does this a lot when typing- I think he does it intentionally now though cos someone pointed it out so therefore he thinks it must be cool (joke Rich) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Are there people that truley write teh because it is an internet geeky thing to do.  If I do it then it's because I'm getting my fingers tangled up whilst typing- but I actively try not to do it because of the big deal that some people make over typos (especially that one) on this forum.

Dozy   11 #21 Posted October 19, 2007 I asked the same question a while ago but the thread got closed down  It's something I really don't understand. People get slated for spelling and grammer on here, but is seems ok to mis-spell the most simple and commonly used word in the english language. If is is a mistake, as some people say, then it is bad that so many people seem to make it without correcting.  Inverting letters is a very common occurrence, even amongst trained typists. That's why Microsoft word has an auto-correct feature, which will automatically change teh to the. And it isn't always a case of not correcting, sometimes you read what should be there, rather than what is there.  One place I worked, a typist inverted the "c" and "o" in the title "Discount Controller", much to everybody's amusement - and she'd obviously checked her typing.  And I once managed to refer to "pubic funding" in a minute I typed up addressed to a Secretary of State! It wasn't just me that missed the typo, everybody else who'd read it, commented on it, changed it and checked it managed to miss it as well.  There's an amusing thread somewhere about misreading thread titles - gives some good examples of how the eye can sometimes fool the brain. Including one poster who'd misread the title as talking about misleading thread titles! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Pipine   10 #23 Posted October 19, 2007 I use teh all the time.. sometimes by mistake when my fingers don't coordinate with my brain too well and other times just cos its sounds funny. I think I noticed it first on websites like B3ta.com where they kept talking about "teh fluff" when they posted pictures of cute fluffy kittens.
