    Commonly mistyped words?

    I have an unfortunate time mixing up India and Indiana - I went to school in Indiana but have a lot of friends from India ... I never know when to stop typing. Also tend to screw up anything with w, e, and r in it (like screw, which I originally had as screwer ...) and often end up making...

    While watching Dr. Who, Seasons 5 & 6...

    Hi there - I just stumbled across this site and thought it looked like it might be a good place to spend a fair amount of time. I used to write a ton, and then I went to college and well ... time, there's never enough time. Now that I'm a proud member of the so-called "real world" I'm trying to...
