Those are among the WORST (after spam and pop-up ads). The self-spell checking is biased against older, standard usages, and the "suggestion search boxes" are often comically wrong. I find it irritating that I have to constantly search again with "verbatim" turned on, because the search engine thoughtfully decided that I didn't mean what I typed.

Lol, thanks for sharing that. I honestly had never heard of BOB... Sounds like the new “Grandpad” concept. :)

For a good change, I would go hardware with USB and SATA. I cut my teeth on MFM and eight flavors of SCSI. I sure as heck don’t miss them!

Plus I am sure you were getting hit with a minimum long distance call from your local carrier every time you sent one though? Man I enjoyed when Netscape came out and I didn’t have to pay AOL “on top of” the long distance rate from our rural area.

Grammarly is my absolute favorite. Hands-down.
Followed by all the instructional YouTube video's I've watched over the years which have helped me fix everything from my washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, TV, computer monitors and my favorite 2003 GMC Envoy with an inline 6 Cylinder that just won't stay dead. :-)

"Emojis? 🤔" I often wondered how many pages of binary it actually takes to make one of those... :)
