    Should I be concerned

    For those of you that read my posts. I have started noticing more and more errors in my typing. Its starting to worry me. I am wondering if any of you have noticed. I have a new lap top and keys work fine. To type this I am concentrating to make sure that I don't have silly spelling errors.

    I have not noticed errors, silly or not. A new keyboard, even with the same layout, can take some time to get used to.

    I have not noticed errors in your posts. Your thoughts are coherent and I haven't noticed spelling errors.

    I joke with my kids sometimes that my typing is dyslexic, although I suppose it would be dysgraphia, not dyslexia. I have spell check set up for most of my typed communication. I don't know if that's good or bad. It seems like I am more careless because I know errors will be caught.

    Are you having trouble with any other fine motor skills, handwriting, picking up very small items, using scissors or things like that? If not, maybe it's just a quirk of the new keyboard and you'll get better with use. Playing a piano, for example, can feel different from one instrument to another. It's not that the keys don't work, it's just that they have a different feel to them and maybe your ring fingers, my weakest, were fine playing on one instrument but are not as sure with a different one. Hopefully it's nothing.

    I haven't noticed anything, either.

    For what it's worth...there are days when I seem a bit more stressed or focused on something else and my finger placement on the keyboard (or brain placement on the fingers) will suffer. I'm a good touch typist but sometimes I definitely seem to be distracted or whatever. (I'm 67 and prepared to start noticing changes but, honestly, the days I describe are definitely...so far...associated with some kind of mental distraction.)

    Thanks for all the input. No my other skills are fine. Maybe its the new keyboard as you said. I have been having an electrical current running through me for about 3 months it drives me crazy. So maybe I am not as focused.

    I would think it's focus or a virus. My husband and I both had problems speaking coherently for a few days then we came down with a nasty virus. We're convinced it was related.

    I've gone through spells of something similar, fingers just not seeming to work right. I do find it happens during times of stress so obviously my mind is chugging faster than my fingers. I've not noticed any errors in your posts.
