Join the club my typing and/or spelling gets worse as time goes by. I find myself having to look up words I know I used to spell with no trouble at all.

I have read studies that concluded the ability to look things up instantly causes many people to not learn things in the first place.

I even saw one that cited an engineer with a degree in math who was nearly helpless when his calculator was taken away. He knew all the advanced concepts and formulas but could not remember the multiplication tables.

Now I am wondering if I am getting dyslexia. I keep spelling words backwards when typing. Lol. Thank God fpr spellcheck.

Be careful with spell check. It wants to make my middle name "Jerl" into "Jerk". And years ago my oldest had a bunch of friends from the UK, he would change spell check to "UK English" to type stuff for them and forget to change it back. Then I would type something (oh, like lesson plans or tests for work) and have it drive me nuts until I realized what was going on and started checking every time I opened Word.

You know, now that you mention it, there are some words that are absolutely hilarious when spell checked. I always mean to write these down and then make a post using all of these wrong picks. I think it would be a hooters!

Oh, that is right, you didn't use an upper case 'H' - I did.
