In response to Ping’s detailed and thoughtful insights on the <\/span>Manual Script assignment<\/span><\/a> I commented on her post as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n

Hi Ping,<\/span><\/p>\n

I really enjoyed reading your post and I think it was quite brave of you to type up your handwritten text and to allow the software to identify the mistakes that were made. I wondered about this with my own manual script but didn\u2019t do it so I am impressed you did.<\/span><\/p>\n

One point I found quite interesting is that you felt that your spelling accuracy has declined with the aid of spelling correction functions. I have found the opposite with my own spelling. Mainly because when I misspell a word electronically the software offers suggestions and shows me the correct spelling in real-time. The reminders (some too frequent) help me to see the correct spelling repeatedly and I feel I have been able to correct my spelling quicker (maybe I am a visual learner). This is far less likely to happen with me if I were to rely on a physical dictionary. You also mention that \u201ctechnology frees us from worrying about the writing basics\u201d but I think I have become more aware of the conventions of writing because of the use of technology (for the same reasons mentioned in relation to spell check).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I am still far from perfect when it comes to writing flawlessly but I am thankful that I have technology to help me improve. I\u2019m curious if you have identified specifically why you feel your spelling has declined because of spell check?<\/span><\/p>\n

Reason for linking: <\/b>I found myself identifying with the majority of what Ping wrote about in terms of her emotional response to the task. Specifically, I related to her feelings of shame for the mistakes made in the manual text. She states \u201cI am ashamed of the many spelling, punctuation, and grammar mistakes I have made\u201d and I can relate to this as we are not accustomed to publishing our texts in this format. But I also found it interesting that we varied in our feelings towards how technology impacted our spelling ability. I felt this was worth exploring further.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
