I can't write with a pen or pencil any more...I can type on a keyboard - as long as I have the full might of the spell and grammar check on at all times because when I am done it is all red lines and goobledegook...

sometimes spellchecker hasn't a clue what I might be trying to say and it offers me a list of wrong words to choose from... that said when it comes to having a clue, neither have I because once the thought was committed to the page it is gone...

I find it so frustrating that even a short reply like this takes forever to type, check, figure out, edit and post... made worse by the fact that once I hit the submit button I forget I even posted... makes me wonder why I even bother huh lol

My typing and writing has gone to pot. I have to create the text I want then come back a couple of hours later and re-read it and then correct it and put in all the words that are missing.

Talking of missing what is with pens and pencils ? put them down and they run away and hide somewhere - perhaps they know better and are trying to limit the damage I can do ...
