NEW TOPIC Does anybody happen to know why it has become so hard to type? My typing has been going slowly downhill for about four years, but it seems as if the "slope got a lot steeper" during he last 6 months. I sense there is something more going on than a mere deterioration of manual dexterity. It appears to be more than letters missed due to a light touch and strings of letter repeatssssssss due to a retarded release, which are frequent. I see it, to a more or lesser degree, on many posts to this exchange, so I don't think my problem is especially unique. Presently I manage just about two typos per word! This is especially frustrating since I want to, need to (am obligated to) produce articles for academic journals in my field. My best typing is done at a slow pace, with my eyes focused on the monitor, watching as each word appears. Tedious. Thank the powers that be for "spell check", although sometimes I am too far off even for that. Spell check does not catch things like think instead of thing.
