Not Quite Dystypia

Dystypia - the typing equivalent of dyslexia, getting the letters in the wrong order.

I don’t generally suffer from dystypia, but do commonly replace the word I want with a different, although usually related in some way, word somewhere between my brain thinking it and my fingers typing it. Often “thing” instead of “think”, “there” over “the”, or “bugger” in place of “buffer” (mind you, if you’d seen my code… ;-)

So I was amused to find that when I’d been ripping some old vinyl recently, I’ve ended up with Simon & Garfunkel trying to “Keep the costumer satisfied”. To hell with their customers presumably.
