The solution is simple. It is called proof reading before you hit send. At least on NT, we can edit as soon as we see the errors.

Turn on spell check, too. It helps give you a better reason to proof read.

I bet Brett Favre has Post Multiple Sub-concussive Impacts Syndrome (PMSIS). By the time he is 50 he will be a space cadet.

And, don't let your butt dial your texts to the wrong party. LOL

I'm still pretty good at writing and spelling. English and reading has always been my strong point...I'm just so used to writing so fast that my brain can't keep up so it writes the wrong words. I find myself at times looking at a word and thinking that it looks weird spelled that way...even though its correct.

I tried Words With Friends, my brain couldn't handle it.

I was in space after one game.

My typing is getting worse and I have to retype several times. Definitely a disconnect between my fingers and thoughts.

I'm typing longer emails even though I try not to. My OCD comes out a lot to get the message clear and concise. Just hoping people don't hate me for it. :D

I browse from my phone too. I've got a HTC Inspire...its hard to type with the touch screen keyboard sometimes. I screw up way more on my phone than i do on a regular keyboard.


I'm writing this from my phone now lol.

ditto....Met the sweetest girl a couple of months ago, sent her an email
and called her an idiot.

On the plus side, she was extremely gracious when I explained the trouble
I was having, but I was MORTIFIED.

Even today, seven months after the accident, I couldn't find the word translate. I tried transform, trans...asked the husband NOT to tell me-give me time to find it. I did. Yea me.:D

I do that too...tell the person I'm talking to not to tell me what the word is that I'm trying to find. I get excited when I finally figure it out lol.
