@branduhn "type the word" is correct but native speakers often make the mistake of using the wrong one since it works in other structures like this "go to that page and type it in"

@branduhn think of it as a shortened sentence, a whole sentence being "type the word in the ____"

@pomjoep Ok, so if I just have “____ the word” without the part that comes after it, then I should only use “type” as opposed to “type in”, right?

@branduhn i think that varies from how close you are. It would be a bit odd to say to a stranger, but If it’s your friend than it would be fine

@branduhn I’ve heard it used as a joke to friends before, but never in a one word, it’s said with a very clear space between them

@pomjoep Thanks. Do you think this sounds natural?
“Every time your heart is broken, a doorway cracks open to a world full of new beginnings, new opportunities. Never regret yesterday. Life is in your today, and you make your tomorrow.”
