Hare Krishna Dear All,
I wanted to modify my update today. So I typed whatever I wanted to type being very careful to avoid the spelling errors. I thought I did well.
When I copied my new profile into MS Word for saving in my PC, to my surprise, I found so many spelling errors on my writing:
The following is the list of some of the errors I made : [Within the double quotes are the correct words.]
------------------------------------------------
Chaning ------for "chanting"
Becaise ----- for "because"
accross ------for "across"
bouht --------for "bought"
remembere --for "remember"
contineu ------ for "continue"
alomost -------for "almost"
walltes --------for "wallets"
surpise -------for "surprise"
potatos -- ----for "potatoes"
desing -------for "design"
I feel that if I had submitted without seeing my profile in MS Word, it would sound very annoying. There were too many errors like this in my carefully typed profile.
So, from now onward I know what to do when I have to post anything -prepare the message in MS Word at first and copy that to the web pages. I hope, it might be useful method for some of you as well.

Possible reasons for the typos, and solutions
Greetings, Durga Basnet.
These typing errors you list in the OP seem to be due mainly to too fast typing, not to actual misspelling or not knowing how to spell a word.
From what you have later commented to Krishna Priya Tiya here, I gather you are able to recognize whether words are spelled properly or not. So to me, this is another clue that the problem isn't dyslexia or not knowing how to spell, but simply due to too fast typing.
If my assumption is correct, then it would be easier and more economical for you to type more slowly and pay attention to what you type, instead of typing a text and checking it in Word or in a spell-check program.
Namely, using a spell-check program takes time and attention - which you might as well use right when you first type a text.
Additionally, there are words that we tend to misspell frequently; "across" (Is it one "c" or two?) is one of those. It can be helpful to make a list of such words, tailored to one's needs - spelled properly, of course. One can then review the list before typing, or when waiting for the computer to boot or in other such short time slots.
I hope this is helpful.
Hare Krishna.
Hare Krishna prabhu, Its
Hare Krishna prabhu,
Its normal, everyone makes mistake and mostly because most of us use sms to communicate which affects spellings we frequently use, the spelling is correct but alphabets are placed in wrong places....only the first and last alphabet is enough to understand whole spelling
ps: I may have made many mistakes to write above matter, but I too believe that it may have been understood what I meant to communicate
Your Kind Words
Hare Krishna, Mataji Krishna Priya,
Thank you so much for your kind words. You are right everyone makes mistakes as we all are imperfect, it is only the matter of being more or less.
However, I am terrible at mistyping the words. Well, I did not find any in your writing. Now a days, I also trying to be more careful.
HARI BOL!
Durga
I expect
There is no person posting here who does not make mistakes and correct them before they post.
I make many mistakes.
Most professional writers make a first draft without correcting anything. The they edit that draft many times before they are happy. Most people who spend a lot of time writing know that all the effort in writing is in the editing. I don't know anyone who writes perfectly in the first draft.
As Tekisui says take it easy when you write
Re-read every word before you click 'Post Comment'
: )

just get firefox it will do
just get firefox it will do the editing for you and it is much coooler than Internet Explorer.
Firefox
Dear NityanandaChandra,
It is true that Firefox is better in many ways. I also used it for few months in the past and it was about 7 months ago I stopped it. The reason of my switching back to IE is that it used to crash quite a few times. I am not sure whether the latest version still has that problem. Thank you anyway. I will try it once again.
Durga
it doesn't seem to have
it doesn't seem to have those problems anymore. Go ahead and give it a try again. There are lots helpful add ons like adblocker, never see an ad again and others
Great Plan
I think it is to be expected that a few mistakes get through.
There are a few other things that might help. If your post is a longer one always put it aside and look at it again later, a day later if possible. This is called looking at it with fresh eyes. It is surprising what you see the next day.
Don't trust the spell checker, always read your work again as some words are correct but just in the wrong place.
My favorite is to edit backwords.
After I have all the things written that I want and I have put my work aside for some time I always edit starting from the last paragraph. I work my way up the story looking at each paragraph, each sentence and each word.
Writing is a very mental thing. Our mind usually sees things a little differently than what is on the page. These practices help you see your writing from a different perspective, one in which errors stand out more readily.
Take your time, no need to rush to press. Have .
Hare Krishna

Dear Abrennan, Thank you so
Dear Abrennan,
Thank you so much for wonderful ideas.

Backwords ...
Hee hee how strange and funny in a post on spelling and there's me saying I check my spellings in a long post by starting the check at the bottom instead of the top. It should be written BACKWARDS not backwords
but then Tekisui wouldn't have got to show us that funny little site
I like the singalong words myself : )
EDIT:
It looks like my post has been edited ... and abrennan replied directly into my post ... now that's something new! ;)
Here's the link again: http://www.waybackwords.com/backwords.htm

Sorry mate

If you read that bit backwards you will know what I mean
