Trust me after almost 3 years I still send in my written exercises with those mistakes LOL.
BTW, from what I hear, even native speakers use English IME to type in Japanese and not a Japanese keyboard.

I may have came down on IME a little prematurely. I have just noticed that it auto-corrects it if i press 'enter' afterwards. So that's ok.
Unfortunately i tend to have correction turned off because it tries to change it to Kanji which i don't understand yet...naturally i only want to write things i understand myself so i don't want the computer doing the corrections for me.
I'm going to have to stick with it anyway really but i'm certainly going to write down as much as i can as it is always the best way.
I will need some kind of official learning program soon though. I'm currently just teaching myself the basics with help fro mpeople on this forum and an audiobook for pronunciation.
However i'd really like a course type layout so i could see how i'm pressing properly.
Had a brief look at Rosetta Stone but it looked rubbish to be honest. The methods it claims to use would never work. Teaching you like you learnt your primary language doesn't work when you are only studying a few hours a day. Just can't see the methods working at all.
