I have even used the text feature on my cell phone when I didn't have a computer handy.

I am not real impressed with the spell checking incorporated in my Mac. It often can not correct a simple error which should be obvious and also does the automatics without me noticing. Today it changed dna to dan on me. I have to carefully proofread everything. <br /><br />One thing I haveSextanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869179401767968180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389866155730491552.post-38041498280951148872012-10-10T17:08:42.438-04:002012-10-10T17:08:42.438-04:00Oh my gosh - I love Tom's comment.

I definitely preview before I press publish - sometimes the "corrections" are not at all what I want to say.

One word at a time. The other day it took me far longer than was comfortable to think of the word for the place where airplanes land.

AND I WAS great at spelling. Now, I do second guess myself a lot if there's no spell-check on the program. However, I keep a dictionary nearby to check, as well as a thesaurus. I must get back into practicing this art!!<br />Peace,<br />MuffMuffiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04542678482763101104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389866155730491552.post-68805491519276854422012-10-09T15:34:01.378-04:002012-10-09T15:34:01.378-04:00Me Too!!!

No wonder people don't send hand written notes anymore! Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.com
