This lady is an English teacher who's been roasting incels by correcting their grammar...

57. Finding another proofreader is a rarity.💕I worked in a print shop in 1975...

In talking to the woman who hired me I found out that almost no one younger than we were had the capacity to pass the test. To us it was just basic English spelling, grammar, and punctuation as taught all the way through our schooling.

The skill has stood me in good stead. When I made myself take a typing class after my divorce, I found that whatever I lacked in speed was made up for by my ability to know when I’d hit the wrong key and immediately backspace-correct. Same thing when I learned to word-process. When I went back to grad school in midlife, I may have been the only student there who finished my dissertation on my own computer without hiring someone else to word-process and proof it for me.

I hate auto-correct, and have turned it off on every computer and pad I’ve ever owned. What is a glorious tool for my dyslexic ex-husband just introduces errors for me. It has, however, made me more tolerant of other people’s posts here, because I now recognize more errors introduced by cell phones and such, having experienced them myself.

You’re right about skills changing with age — my spelling has slipped a few points, as has word-recall, which is irritating. We shall nevertheless carry on!
