Anagram Skills

I'm pretty good at anagrams. Whether while playing Huggermugger, Scrabble, or a baby/wedding shower game, I usually do pretty good at unscrambling words. I figured it was just one of my special talents, but I just now realized why: my poor typing skills.

About 85% of my typographical errors are transposition errors. I do the common ones, like "teh" for "the", and my most frequent ones are words with "ld" at the end, like "coudl" for "could". But I also have typos like "estiamet" for "estimate". I have to deal with these errors so often, that I get a lot of practice at looking at mixed-up words.

I knew my horrible typing skills must serve a purpose!
