Ouch, I Just Overtyped

Have you ever started typing something, then backed up into your sentence to add a word?  Usually when you do this the curser pushes the words after the one you are adding so your new word can be added to the sentence.  But sometimes the curser starts typing right over the words in your sentence rather than inserting the new word into your sentence.  This is calledovertyping and it’s a feature that can be toggled on and off using the “Insert” button on your keyboard:

PRACTICE ACTIVITY:  Try using the insert button to toggle the overtyping feature on and off while your typing something today.
