Every time I try to type “Heath Ledger” it comes out “Heather Ledger”. Why is that?

You’re a Sydenite now, Stilly-me-lad, whether you like it or not. Your fingers are used to talking about the weather, so they rush ahead and finish the word any time they see it coming. And the poor dears don’t know an H from a W, so they’re easily fooled.
Back in your Adelaide days, this wouldn’t have been a problem, since Adelaide doesn’t have weather (or, for that matter, heather). But you moved, and your fingers have been made to suffer.
