Usually spellchecker doesn't catch me out (though there are some words I consistently misspell). </p> <p>Handwriting now, that's gotten REALLY bad. I'm sloppy and lazy because I want it to go as fast as my typing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-spelling-gotten-worse-because-of-the-technology-age#post-434673 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 13:18:08 +0000 Adira 434673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I have the same problem - there's definitely less opportunity to take notes, but in meetings at work, I'll often bring a notebook and take hand-written notes. Also while doing my job, I'll often jot down tasks or notes to myself on paper. And I'm notorious for writing things down on sticky-notes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-spelling-gotten-worse-because-of-the-technology-age#post-434665 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 13:13:43 +0000 Mrs. Pen 434665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: I prefer note taking by hand as well because I find I remember things better that way... however I have no opportunities for note taking anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-spelling-gotten-worse-because-of-the-technology-age#post-434650 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 13:06:41 +0000 Adira 434650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think my spelling has gotten any worse, and neither has my handwriting, but I'm pretty old fashion. I like taking notes by hand (as opposed to on a computer), so that's part of it. I also don't feel like I rely on spell-check. It just happens to come in handy sometimes, usually for words I never remember how to spell. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-spelling-gotten-worse-because-of-the-technology-age#post-434646 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 13:05:25 +0000 MrsTiz 434646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, 100x YES! I spell horribly now ..because I can :) Also as soon as someone asks me a math problem, no matter how simple, I don't even try to figure it out before I pull my phone up and add it in the calculator lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-spelling-gotten-worse-because-of-the-technology-age#post-434641 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 13:03:48 +0000 lovehoneybee 434641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not my spelling but my handwriting has gotten atrocious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-your-spelling-gotten-worse-because-of-the-technology-age#post-434632 Thu, 06 Dec 2012 13:00:34 +0000 Mrs. Pen 434632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine has and it's embarrassing even though no one sees it.</p> <p>I also scored 3-4 grades ahead in my spelling tests and I was so proud... but since I graduated everything is written on the computer and I've actually regressed. I find myself misspelling words I should know (I just misspelled generalization and dispel) and DID know. I guess I've started to become too reliant on spell checker. </p>
