Ironic considering how many technology-based writing aides are available. Hell, even typing the work "alot" in TD produces a red squiggly.

Part of my job requires reading technician notes. These are blue collar dudes mostly under the age of 40. Primarily high school grads with a few dropouts and a little college. Their notes are typed via iPhone/iPad. It sometimes feels like I'm reading another language.

Same! Sometimes I cringe reading RFIs from the guys in the field. It’s kind of scary that they can’t compose a complete sentence but they’re out there building chemical plants and refineries.

Some others that get me are how many people don’t know the difference between are and our and want and won’t

God bless you. You must be a saint. I don't think I could do this.

But it still can’t tell that you mean “word” and not “work.”
