I have no idea how I am able to type words on a computer keyboard. Its just something I somehow picked up with practice.

#22I so often type "nevermind" instead of "never mind" that I created a shortcut on my computer that replaces the former with the latter. I have met many other people of my generation (early 40s) who also thought it was a single word. I think we were influenced by the popular Nirvana album, which used the single-word spelling.
Clearly you needed to be born a little earlier so you could instead have been influenced by the proper diction of Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols.

#25`alias ls=sl` on your friend's unlocked computer
Found it in my .bashrc once. That was a good trick. Now any time a buddy and I share have a login on one another's machine, the ssh motd is an ASCII train that says "toot toot".

Welp, I also just learned it's not a single word.

#27Is typing 'ls' correctly that common of a problem? =/
It is probably rare but, but if you spend most of your time on the command line it is sort of like tripping over nothing -- sticks in your memory. Particularly if it happens around other people.

#28Embrace your habit of mistyping: https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck#readme
I use that all the time as a shortcut to push new git branches without having to type the whole name.

#30alias sl=ls Watch productivity skyrocket
alias l=ls is even better! Can't reverse the order of letters if there's just one letter.
