Decades ago, the company secretary had to type up the company fire instructions when we moved into our new building. Prominent in the instructions was the phrase
In case of fire, DO NOT LEAVE THE LIFT

Reminds me of the slogan that was almost used to advertise a local university:
Quote: Do you enjoy being mentally challenged?
"These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined."
- Homer

That reminds of a photo I saw of a billboard that said, "Illiterate? Write for free help."
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

Or all the (usually government generated) letters sent out in normal size print, which contain (also in normal size print):
Quote: If you require this information in Braille or large-print, please call ...
"These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined."

Mine are mis-doubling 40% of the time:

From way back in the DOS days, to this very minute, I still type 'Fomrat' instead 'Format'. (Which one of those do you think I just had to correct?)
...and 'Proejct' instead of 'Project'. And I tend to put the first character of a word as a space and the space as the second character of a word.

My mistakes are usually off-by-one errors (e.g. ertr instead of were).

You'd never make these mistakes if you switched to the Dvorak keyboard setup[^].
The qwerty setup was created to slow you down!
In the old days when typewriters were used, the mechanical keys would bump each other if a person typed too fast so they created qwerty to slow typists down.
Yes, it's a conspiracy that makes you type so poorly!

I do too but it turns out I only run when chased.

Way back in my old typing class (using manual typewriters), we were told that the qwerty keyboards were made so that the most common words would use an equal combination of left and right keystrokes. One letter from the left or right, the next from the other hand. This would speed up typing. Typing two letters from the same hand simultaneously would slow the typist down. This made perfect business sense. The more typing that could be done in the least amount of time meant more money for the business. (And, this goes back many generations.) [My first typewriter was an Underwood.]

I thought I am the only one having this weird issue.
It happens 8 out 10 times when typing for me.
