Have you found that your spelling ability has decreased the more you use CPUs and phones

Instead of using handwriting?

My answer would be yes.

I’ve always thought it was more about just getting old

I find it decreases because the part of my brain to remember spelling is having to remember weird arse new names which really shouldn’t exist.

My phone autocorrects actual words. So no.

More often than not, it changes the word incorrectly. So annoying!

My spelling ability has absolutely gone to shite. I have noticed a slow but steady decline in my ability to spell. If course, I noticed the same thing in ability to do arithmetic in my head with the advent of calculators.

100%. And I hate it. I find myself all the time now questioning my spelling. Even when I know it’s right.

Mine improved because I didn't want to get fricked with on the OT.

I stopped writing cursive in the 9th grade. Teacher constantly threatened bad grades but our principal told her students didn't technically need to write in cursive. Didn't hurt that my dad and the principal were pretty good friends back in the day.
