Typos - missing out a word

I've been doing this for the last 10 years (since Feb '99). When I write a sentence as part of an email, in instant messaging or a on forum posting, I have a habit of occasionally missing out a word which I find infuriating. The missed word is random. Real-life examples are as follows:

- It is very of you to say that. Missed word = nice.
- Please get your changed. Missed word = password.
- 'Lilo model sheet' was based on a under the same name. Missed word = pin.
- I have booked a for 8PM. Missed word = table.

I don't have problems with missing letters, letter order, word order or general sequencing. I'll just randomly miss out a word.

Does anyone else have this problem?
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    I write random words, as opposed to missing them. Such as, I'll be typing one thing and thinking or talking about another and write what I'm thinking/talking about. I still remember when I was in 3rd grade or something and I was in the group that got to figure out what kind of birthday cake each student wanted and I ment to write cool whip but I asked "are you happy now" and I wrote they wanted "happy" for the icing. Weird how you remember random things.

    I'm sorry, I ramble and its only semi-similar to what you said.

    Yes when I try and type as fast as I think, I can end up writing some very random things sometimes.

    I also cant spell certain words, to matter how hard I try to get them right.

    I usually add the letter 'g' on to words without meaning to, eg marathong, pumpking. dunno why, my fingers just get carried away.

    nah, I don't miss words, sometimes I miss letters, which can be crucial.

    "Hey, I really love your shit." (missed letter: "r")

    To be, I think it's probably just not concentrating you're typing away. If that was the, don't you people would pick up on it you'd then be more conscious of the you're doing it?

    :D

    I start writing the next next word instead of the next word, very annoying.
