Instance
When I am documenting my software at work, I must use the word "instance" a hundred times a day. I'm not complaining about that. It is the correct word and the use of an alternative word in this context wouldn't be appropriate.
You'd think, though, that I'd be able to type it properly by now. I want to type the word i - n - s - t - a - n - c - e but my fingers have other ideas:
instnace ... ionstance ... intance ... isntnace
I might give up and have Word auto-correct all of these variations.
Then I am sure I will find other ways to mistype the word.
