Note to self, make sure that you have typed the entire sentence before pressing "send", especially when typing about spelling and grammar!!!:-)
Would be interesting to see whether "mental typing" would eliminate spelling and grammatical errors, or whether it would show that poor spellers and poor grammarians would continue to do so. Yes, an auto-spell checker could eliminate both poor spelling and grammar, but would be unworkable because that would A)prevent us using non-standard words for emphasis, and B) restrict sentence structure to a pre-defined set of parameters, totally destroying personal expression, as anyone who has stared incredulously at the utter bloody nonsense that Word Spellcheck comes out with on occasion.
Strange...... I'm 34, very happily married, a medical Doctor and an British Army officer with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.....and I also quite like Stargate. Sorry, hadn't realised that I had to be a complete failure in my life to like Sci Fi.....I'll just go out and buy a cheap mac and flash at some pensioners now, since that's apparently what I have to do....
