Changes in writing

From the internet to paper there really isn't much of a change in writing that I have noticed. On paper I tend to be more grammatically correct like I am now. Where as online, in a blog or a comment to a friend I would be less specific in my grammar and spelling. Furthermore, writing something down on paper would take a bit longer then on the computer. The thought process would be the same however, on the computer it takes only the push of a button rather than writing out each letter. Also including our ever changing technologies, my mind may not the spelling of a fair amount of words but not all of them. Spell check makes writing go a lot faster with the use of spell check.

  1. Ah, where would we be without spell check?

    You point out a drawback to the automatic spell check - when it fixes words FOR us, we don't always learn the correct spellings.
