    I blame google

    My spelling in recent years has gone down hill. I can't spell the simplest of things without resulting to spell checks and I blame google.

    As a programmer I spend 95% of my time trying to find code to cut and paste, so I spend all day typing misspelled words and google magically understands and corrects me. But now I can't even type a simple sentence without at least two or three spelling mistakes.

    Never mind I can't find my way to my local pub without a sat nav.

    Is technology diminishing us as human being?

      If I can stop other contractors pinching the code that I'm pinching then I much prefer cut and paste.

          Google has a lot to answer for.

            Google in itself is not a problem. It is the social context of poor education and widespread cretinism.

              Yep, it's got so bad that at times even google can't work out what I am trying to spell, I then resort to voice commands to try and get close to what I want

              I want my account deleted and all of my information removed, I want to invoke my right to be forgotten.

                Which hill? Or did you mean downhill?
