I like it. Has a nice ring to it.

But I, for one, am so proficient/afflicted in/with those syndromes/maladies that methinks a DAY is hardly long enough.
Yes, me thinks a month to really bring the horrible affliction we are suffering into the awareness of the public should be more like it.

Did you ever notice how, when you are typing something quickly, both your hands and your brain type something completely different than want you actually intended?

I've since corrected it, but what's up with that?!?!?

Anyway. . .Everyday's a Holiday, etc., etc., etc.
I do something similar sometimes when I'm tired or not with it - except my right hand will type one word, and my left will start typing the next word. Combine that with occasionally typing backwards (with one or both hands), and I have a wonderful gift for typing stuff that makes no sense whatsoever...

I sometimes suffer from the same malady. It's called Double Digit Dissociative Dexterity Deficit Disorder. That's what happens when your left hand doesn't know what your right hand is doing.



Just curious about the backwards typing, though. How does that manifest itself? Is that Reverse Writing Recovery where the words jump off the screen and back into your keyboard?

I'm so glad it has a name. There's a few people at work who suffer from this (especially, it seems, in the higher ranks of management), so I can now tell them they can go and see a doctor to seek help.

No - although I have suffered from that occasionally (I know my memory isn't going, so that's the only explanation for things I know I've typed not being there). It's more linked to the "satanic" message on LPs - except in my case if you read the words backwards there might well be an insulting message there rather than an evil one. Unless I'm having a very bad day.

As it stands, the diagnosis was made by Dr. Lady Blue. It is to her that I owe the consultation fee. You are a day late and now $300 short!

. . .And, I am sure you meant to type, pay the LADY at the door.

Well, I used to have a lady at the door, but she got too expensive, what with fringe benefits and all. So I fired her and hired one of my drunk Irish relatives, instead, who thinks that bounced checks are the norm...
