Do you ever accidentally hit "v", "c" or "b" instead of the spacebar?

Yep hitting the dictation button is pretty common for me too. Autocorrect solves most of my problems though.
I usually hit "haha" but my iPhone apparently thinks i should say

But also, not a typing mistake, more of an autocorrect, but still...

Yes! I get that quite often as well as "we'll" when I mean "well" and "ducking" in place of that other word

I've used it on occasion, but I have recently turned it off as the dictation button kept getting in my way and I have gotten too annoyed with it. Haven't used Siri much as all. So now my keyboard woes involve mis-pressing a button instead of "space" or auto-correct fails.
My guess is that the b is from trying to hit the space bar twice to get a period at the end of a sentence and hitting b instead.
I ALWAYS hit the "b" button instead of the spqce bar on my android. it really p*sses me off, like a lot. I would very much adore the person or persons who tell me about a keyboard I can download so this won't happen anymore. P.S I absolutely REFUSE to use spellcheck, T9, or swipe. I just don't like thos options. I like to be in complete control of what I am typing. Message me in facebook, it's Cryptic Josh from Erie PA USA. Thanks in advance!
Sounds like you just need to adjust your typing.

So annoying when it takes you a few nanoseconds to register that you're adding to your word instead of deleting it, haha.
No, But I pretty much only use the left shift key for every capitalized letter. I am a fairly quick typer, but that is a very bad habit that I don't think I will ever fix. I can't even remember the last time I capitalized with the right shift key... oh wait I just did!
I hit “b” literally every time, instead of space bar?? This just recently started happenening..Ive always typed fast..is this a personal dilema? Im glad others have the same problem. the only solution is to physically watch yourself press the space bar when texting or typing , which is burdensome and problematic in some cases ...any other solutions? default settings, keyboard adjustments??? anything?

Or set ur iphone up to know that u often hit b instead of space bar and it will auto correct it when there is a misspelled word

No, but for some reason I sometimes press the Shift key which can be a nuisance.
