Generally, I'm a pretty good typer. I also am pretty good at using the right your and you're, etc. But, once I log onto the AW boards, holy crap, I turn into a fumble-fingered idiot!

:Hammer:
I make such incredible errors (like the wrong 'no':Wha:) that I have to edit dang near every one of the posts I make now...
:e2smack:
And YES I do read the stupid post over before I post it.

I need my little red squiggly lines back...

Really, I do know how to write! And spell most of the words I use!

:Hammer:

It's just so exciting to be posting on AW that everyone turns into a fumble fingered typo misspelling nincombober.

Clair, until you're fully comfortable, enough to tell us to suck eggs if we pay attention to your goofs, you can always write your posts in Word, complete with squigglies, then copy and paste them here after you've rendered them perfect.

That's what I do when I've been drinking...

Maryn, who doesn't really post when she'd loaded

P.S. I lived in Trenton, Michigan as a child, and your location jumped out at me

I'm almost always loaded when I post so mine are full of typos and irreverent comments.

Lovely, large cave
Yes, use Firefox and you'll get your red lines back. Love it!

Thnaks all. I appreciate the support. =)

I've never used Firefox... I joined the Microsoft collective. Resistance is futile.

I try to present myself well when I go out (whether it be to the store or online) and it irritates me taht I seem to have so much trouble with AW. Even email doesn't give me as many typo problems.

But, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. I have plenty of other things to lose sleep over... like my query and my sample chapters and my novel as a whole... =)
