Hi Angel,
Also don't forget that the iPhone has auto correct. So if you get a word
wrong, it will offer you a correction, which you can either take or reject.
So you wouldn't appear illiterate <Smile>.
All the best
Steve

Yes it does. I think I am not so frightened of touch screens any longer. I
just don't want to appear illiterate if I were to text using something like
that. Thank you for taking the time to explain to this fossil these modern
gadgets.
