> Looks much like my somewhat quick typing with stiff arthritic typo-fingers until i correct the words. Meaning "Looks much lilke my tytpiucal typicig withg...until i cofrredct it." (use QuickPaste for phrases like "stiff arthritic typo-fingers"). Maybe you are on a smartphone.

Likewise. I'm usually pretty good on a regular computer with a regular keyboard. But on a smartphone I have to use the microphone "dictation" feature -- typing is hopeless and correcting is frustrating beyond expression. Correcting the dictation errors is usually doable, or unnecessary if context allows.

From your mouth to the angels- I agree- I thin kfast, type fast- read fast- and post fast- too much to do with too little time to do it all-

Another reason why smartphones are profoundly inferior to a PC in most everything a PC can do (no right click, meaning far less options, and the ones a SM offers are slow access and or very limited, etc.) while smartphones are superior to a PC in features unique to them, which are very few, such as mobile phone, taking of pics, vids. SM's have also adversely affected the Internet due to brevity being favored, thus information being via headlines, TilToc etc.

However, as far as texting is concerned, I thank God for Google Messages for web.. Use Google Messages for web to send SMS, MMS, and RCS messages from your computer. Pair with QR code worked quickly for me. I have Galaxy Android

Not for Linux though.
