13347072, Are you worst at typing than you were 10 years ago? Posted by mista k5, Wed Dec-31-69 07:00 PM
i have noticed i definitely am. my job requires a lot of proofreading so i have always paid a lot of attention to this. lately i have so many typos in emails, texts and posts. a whole word missing, for some reason adding an s or ed where it makes no sense.
i even miss a lot of typos when i see posts. when i go back to them i will sometimes find them and im surprised how i missed them the first time.

13347074, No but I am worse at hand writing stuff Posted by sectachrome86, Wed Sep-11-19 01:02 PM
It feels so foreign to actually hand write something now. Usually its just some hastily scribbled note at most. I can't imagine writing a whole letter or paper by hand.

13347077, What's gotten worse is my handwriting Posted by Eric B Is Prez, Wed Sep-11-19 01:05 PM
With all the time I spend typing on a keyboard or my phone, I almost never have to write on paper any more. If I need to fill out a form or write a note I can barely form the letters. It's like my handwriting muscles have atrophied.

13347092, It me. Posted by BlakStaar, Wed Sep-11-19 01:56 PM
My struggle. When I review notes from work meetings, I am left befuddled by how lazy my hand can be. Makes me sad 'cause I received lots of compliments for my dope penmanship in K-12.

13347087, way better Posted by BrooklynWHAT, Wed Sep-11-19 01:25 PM
and i was already a speed demon on the keyboard before. my handwriting is back to kindergarten levels though. i hardly ever have to write anything for work unless its notes for myself

13347096, like using a superlative instead of a comparative adjective Posted by Cam, Wed Sep-11-19 02:05 PM
just playing but yeah, my typos are at an all time high. partially to this wireless keyboard i use, and partially due to my over reliance on auto correcting software tools. plus, i never look at the screen as i type, always at the keyboard. i have a mental block.

13347117, im not going to pretend to understand this Posted by mista k5, Wed Sep-11-19 03:22 PM

13347102, no but my penmanship is trash, my 3rd grade teacher would be appalled Posted by ThaTruth, Wed Sep-11-19 02:29 PM

13347109, sounds like more of a hazard with your job Posted by hardware, Wed Sep-11-19 02:58 PM
i can totally see it slipping if you have to deal with it constantly.

13347116, the good thing is i dont generate copy Posted by mista k5, Wed Sep-11-19 03:21 PM
im just proofreading as an extra service. the customer provides all the copy, i just gotta make sure i dont delete anything lol
if i catch something then theyre always happy i caught it. if i dont, its on them, especially once they sign off. unless i generate the problem.
with that said, when it comes to my actual work i will reread things plenty of times and look up anything im unsure about.
i used to be so careful with my emails and judge folks for typos. nope now im constantly typing thnak you and such. i usually catch it before i hit send but some typos do escape.

>RE: Are you ***worst*** at typing than you were 10 years ago?
Well played.
|
13347191, I'm much better. I can type w/o looking at the keys at all now Posted by flipnile, Thu Sep-12-19 09:31 AM
Took over 30 years, but at some point I've really learned the entire keyboard. I can find almost every letter and symbol without looking or even thinking about it.
My spelling has gotten worse tho.
|
13347193, typing and spelling have gone down. Posted by tariqhu, Thu Sep-12-19 09:56 AM
I was never a good typer, but I wasn't a sloth either. but now all of it seems to have gone to the shit house.

13347246, I forgot to answer the question Posted by BlakStaar, Thu Sep-12-19 12:20 PM
I'm just as good at typing, if not better.
Mavis Beacon taught me, back in the 90s, and I've been Speedy Gonzales ever since.
