Today's thread of teh day:
Why is TEH shown as THE elsewhere?
http://dan0oo.com/mboard/index.php?topic=6722.0
Today - with teh roof finished - cleared some rubbsh out of teh garage and took it to teh dump.
I'm thinking of joining Ebay to sell some of my old books and small press mags from teh past decades. Any advice?

1/4. what teh ...?

I've never been able to understand the modish use of "teh" in place of "the". Do you have any clue as to why it's been adopted, Des? |

TEH is what one automatically types if not paying full attention to teh keyboard ... I guess. |
3/4. teh

I don't think that's a viable hypothesis, Des. As one of the first words we learn to type and probably the one we most frequently type, "the" is one of the few words we type without thinking of the keystrokes - almost as if it were a single character. To type "teh" involves a conscious effort - indeed, a conscious effort not to accidentally type "the" instead! |
4/4. teh

I disagree with that, Paul. 90% of the time when I'm typing quickly I accidentally mistype The as Teh! |
