Spellcheck Dependency

If not for the CAT system, I would most certainly be doing something else with my life right now. I came into reporting immediately post the Baron Megacenter days, at a time when I could load OZpc onto my $3000 monochrome laptop and be a self-contained mobile reporting machine. I’m quite thankful I skipped the notereading/dictating era of reporting, as I’m sure I’d have less hair than I do now had I suffered through those tasks.

That said, the one negative I can point to in the age of CAT is it’s staggering how much I’m completely dependent on the crutch of spellcheck. As an e-mail from a recent visitor pointed out, this blog was, until this morning, littered with misspellings. Problem was I didn’t have the ability to hit a button and have the computer magically rectify my brain farts and other transgressions. Yep, the height of laziness.

Here’s to getting it right the first time from now on.
