Lousy shift key - I catch as many as I can, but often when I get into
a 'flow' I lose track of if the shift worked or not.

Hmm, one mis-spelling, one omitted letter, one accidentally doubled
letter, and one word that is actually selt CORRECTLY, according to the
proper english language (as in the ofifical English Language, you
know, spoken in England0 as opposed to the bastardised one written by
Webster, a drunken illiterate.I'm surprised you didn't try and tell me
i'd spelt words wrong by putting U's in, words like colour, or
neighbour. Despite what you may have been taught (and we're back to
the bias in subject teachings like history, and politics) American
English is the regional variant, not the standard. Of course, by the
same token, you spelt capitalise wrong. Oh yes, and its SPELT not
SPELLED, you're not giving me temporary relief on a job by taking my
place. What was that about education again? Thank you though for
emphasising that the American education ssytem needs a sever overhaul.
however, next time I'm uncertain as to if a key has registered (be it
the p or shift key or whatever) then you shall be sure I'll drop you
an email.
