the teh

For years I thought 'teh' as a spelling for 'the' was some l337 speak hackerism but it dawned on me last night that if you're typing really fast like they teach you in 10th grade you're fingers will already be poised over the top row so slipping the 'e' before the 'h' would be very common if you're thinking faster than your typing. Kind of like how I always type 'of' instead of 'or'. It's a very persistent defect in my self-styled 4-finger hunt and peck mannerisms.
