From way back in the DOS days, to this very minute, I still type 'Fomrat' instead 'Format'. (Which one of those do you think I just had to correct?)
...and 'Proejct' instead of 'Project'. And I tend to put the first character of a word as a space and the space as the second character of a word.

That is autocorrect, ain't it?
In Word you can only store 2 bytes. That is why I use Writer.

I never make misteaks! 
My mistakes are usually off-by-one errors (e.g. ertr instead of were).

You'd never make these mistakes if you switched to the Dvorak keyboard setup[^].
The qwerty setup was created to slow you down!
In the old days when typewriters were used, the mechanical keys would bump each other if a person typed too fast so they created qwerty to slow typists down.
Yes, it's a conspiracy that makes you type so poorly!

I do too but it turns out I only run when chased.

Way back in my old typing class (using manual typewriters), we were told that the qwerty keyboards were made so that the most common words would use an equal combination of left and right keystrokes. One letter from the left or right, the next from the other hand. This would speed up typing. Typing two letters from the same hand simultaneously would slow the typist down. This made perfect business sense. The more typing that could be done in the least amount of time meant more money for the business. (And, this goes back many generations.) [My first typewriter was an Underwood.]

I thought I am the only one having this weird issue.
It happens 8 out 10 times when typing for me.
.AK.

What's really weird is that, apart from misplaced spaces, this is the only common typo I do.

That's a common one of mine, too.
Not so much a typo as a failure between brain and finger, it really annoys me when I type the wrong word ... For example, their is know way I can tolerate this. I hate it when I read that sort of drivel, so it really upsets me when my fingers type it! They're doing it more and more as well, when I'm typing at speed.

I can handle typos. What drives me up the wall is keyboards that have narrow Shift keys at either end so some manufacturer could add an extra key (or even two) that doesn't belong there.

For whatever reason I often miss the second "o" when I type SET NOCOUNT ON.
All other errors I blame on a faulty keyboard driver which cannot read my sloppy typing.
