-original message- Subject: [talks-uk] Re: Spell Word announcement From: "Steve Nutt" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 19/08/2009 10:41 AM Hi Eleanor, I know I am pretty terrible when I know people just want to do it without completely understanding it. Or they don't want to do it, because it doesn't do something they want, and they don't ask questions about it. But to say things like there is no point, or as Yvonne very quaintly put it, whoever invented it want their brain removed, is just to me, the height of silliness. Good job we are not all like that, or progress would never happen.

I was always afraid to experiment amd always wanted an answer. Now I have learned so much by trying out things myself. Even when I first joined the list I thought it would be just for a few weeks amd here I an still learning. Brill tip from Steve last might about the predictive text amd spelling out the desired word by pressing key 1 after having cycled through the options.

Typing less characters? Why not try it, tell us where you trip up and we'll try to help you. What is there not to see the point of? I find it hard to understand when people just say I don't see the point, without being clear on any down sides to it.
