It may only be me, but....
I suspect that others do as well. When I type, I often hit space prior to
typing the last letter of some words. Therefore the last letter of the word
gets placed with the following word. For example.
He an dshe wen tto th estore.
Spellcheck notices that dshe is not a word. It should look back one word to
see if the <SPACE> and the first letter of the misspelled word would correct
this. "an" does not appear as a misspelling. Also, "wen" is incorrect, but
if the next word "tto" had the "t" and the <SPACE> transposed, both errors
would be fixed. Finally, "estore" may be correct depending on the
dictionary, but if the "e" were transposed, the misspelled previous word
would be corrected.
I had a keystroke on my Commodore-64 that would transpose the previouslt
tpye letters. This was apparently a common enough error in 1983 that "Byte"
magazine provided a word processor with this feature. But it had to be done
manually.
Thank you.
