nerdical seepage

When I was studying Calculus BC and Precalculus (both at the same time, after having passed my Calculus AB exam the previous year; don't ask, but if you went to a school run on Caribbean rules it'll totally make sense to you), I became rather obsessed with math. I won't claim I was awesome at the subject, but it certainly captivated me. I became so enraptured with the rules and logic of it all, that it started to leak into other areas of my life.

On my main computer (I have three, for various reasons, the most salient being that I am an incredible nerd) I have a folder called "webdesign". This folder contains everything I have ever created using HTML, Javascript, and other web technologies.

Since I have been doing this for over ten years, there is a lot of stuff in this folder. Much of it is unfinished, because generally speaking (as I mention in the altastic faq), my creative process goes like this:

1. Have an idea for a page.
2. Make a rudimentary plan and produce a working version using the knowledge I have at the time.
3. Learn the very next day that there is a much better technology I could have used.
4. Decide to redo the old page using said technology.
5. Suddenly have an idea for a new page that wouldn't have been possible without the new technology.
6. Work on the new page, putting the old page on hold for the moment.
7. Forget entirely about the old page.

Once in a while, though, I go back through all the myriad folders within folders and see if I can find something to salvage.

eWoTisms

The word is spelt correctly less than an inch away from the error.
They're not even consistent errors! Aaaargh!

I love reading. I have been doing it for years, and if you have, too, you'll be aware that books have always had misprintings and errata. I accept this, as most people do.

does not computre

Why can't I type "execute"? It keeps coming out as "executre".

This is an open question with a million dollar* cash prize for the correct answer.
