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

At least nobody can say life after BI is boring ;)

My other half often mixes up words, the daft thing is I usually know what she means and often don't bother to correct her. We get some strange looks when people overhear our conversations...

My Mum, god bless her, often extended this to objects and actions. I once opened the fridge door to find her purse on one of the shelves. Upon my querying this, she replied, "Oh, I'd better get the tomatoes out of my handbag..."

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 ...

Not what you're looking for?
