Yes! With a variety of distractions and cats walking across keyboards and playing with the mouse, things happen. Usually I see it all before posting but lately they're getting away from me. Thoughts a'wanderin'! I just need to move on over to the beach and stop wondering about it! That's my excuse!
At least they are easily corrected. Not like in the old days when we had to use typewriters.
So true^^^and getting black fingers when changing the ribbons.
Good peeve Jezer. I think every other sentence I have to go back and check and re-check. I like to type fast and with 2 fingers and it's easy to #@%^& up, especially after you've had a couple of beers...
Ha ha, the keyboard on my lapto p has a habit of "jumping" up a line while I'm typing, sometimes it's...oh see that? It just did that by itself. It's annoying and need to get it fixed

If you type a lot with caps lock on and don't want to retype then copy/paste into a program like Word. Highlight the entire mess and use Format/Change Case/tOGGLE cASE (Word 2003: YMMV) then copy/paste back into your post.

Reason: It's not Sentence Case, it's tOGGLE cASE in Word

My favorite (If it can be considered a favorite) is when I type a while without looking at the keyboard (I am not a touch typist by any means) and realize I've been typing one line above where I thought I was.

So I highlight the text and Copy it to the clipboard. To copy it to the clipboard press and hold the Ctrl key and press the C key.
I open Word and paste the text into a blank document. Ctrl/V
Select all the text. Ctrl/A
Click on the Format menu in the menu bar in Word. When it drops down click on Change Case. In the dialog box that opens choose tOGGLE cASE and click OK.
Ctrl/A to select all again in Word. Come back to your post, select the offending text, and Ctrl/V to replace it with the corrected text.
Voila:

This is how I do it using Word 2003. Other versions might have a different set of choices to get to the tOGGLE cASE option.
I'll do that, I will put it on caps accidently and type out all this stuff before I realize what I have done. Someone told me once that there is a way on the computer to fix that without re-typing it all, but I don't know if that is true.
