About Typing On The Phone?

Now for something a little more, serious. Our damn computer died last week, in the scheme of things I know that the computer dying is not high on the OMG list, but to me it really, really sucks.

For one thing I have to write this blog on my phone. I don't know about the rest of you but I don't have, how shall I say this, dainty fingers. That means the key pad on this iPhone, which was designed for very small fingered people which most likely do not exist in this world (no I'm not going to go to the UFO place again..but, never mind), requires constant attention or else I end up writing and publishing words like 'phono minster' or beadtyballsuckie, in any case the dreaded "no replacement found" pops up when I try to fix the word.

I find that very frustrating, which usually means I write words like 'stoopaville' when I really meant to write 'sanity' (actually wrote samity there but a replacement word came up), or looser luscious when I meant to write 'losing Leena'. I don't know anyone named Leena, but it sounded like a good name and it worked here.

Besides the afore mentioned word problems my writings also looks like someone was murdered on the page. All kinds of things are underlined with little red squiggley lines. The only good thing about that is after so many red dots on a page you start to ignoreate them. I realize you won't see the little red murder dots so I thought I'd let you know that I know that you'll notice misspelled words.

Before any one suggests anything about rotating the phone to get a bigger keyboard, I tried it and yes, the key board was bigger, but the screen was smaller so I got confused and wrote a bunch of stuff that made no sense, kind of like this paragraph!

My daughter can type on her phone like it has a full sized keyboard! It's probably because she texts constantly and seldom uses the phone as an actual phone. I asked her if I could dictate some things to her while she typed but she just laughed and walked away typing something on her phone as she left.

Ian going to end thus now because I have nothing else to slay, play, nay, say! There, finally got it and it only took thirty inutes, oh forget it..
