When I am typing I always (and I mean always) type the "tournament" with the n and the e transposed.
I have no clue why, and it doesn't happen with other words.
Any reason for this strange repetitive mistake?

Its prob because the "n" and "m" are close on the keyboard and you get to the n before you have
typded
in the "e".
I do things like "typded" a bit, don't know wtf that is about, prob senility.

I think because it's so easy to correct (and often autocorrects) you really don't have to worry about it. It's no longer importnat (that was not deliberate and I was thinking about it).
Because you do it so often it becomes ingrained in to your muscles or central nervous system and you just do it.

Err, why exactly are you in the habit of counting backwards?

Ding!
I said "tournament" was the only word which I make this mastake with, but your post reminds me that I often (but not quite as often) make the same mistake with "thanks".
Which discounts doubleup's theory!

I haven't got autocorrect on my ancient computer!
I'm thinking is it because when the letters we mix up are usually typed together, the way we type them is the usual order they are written in a word?

Mistake seems to be a problem, perhaps when it follows "make", too.
That's not a pedantic "fyp" smug comment by the way, it's part of the same problem.
In the spoken word, I've noticed an oddity, too - many black people seem to struggle to say the work "ask" - it comes out as "aks". Anyone know why that is?

Possibly - as in "make mastake".

Nope., I think that was just a one off typo. Can't recall ever typing that word incorrectly before.

I have no idea. Was just something that someone noticed, I didn't even realise I was doing it to start with.
The ask/aks thing is a dialect variation.

Do you have a yearning to be the Space Shuttle countdown bloke?
Forget that, can't have that done in a Scottish accent, it needs to sound important, posh & have some gravitas.
