I have nothing against ‘i’s’, what I do have a problem with is a tiny little keyboard and large fingers. I also suffer a neurological issue where I spell words backwards, and I don’t always catch the words I’ve misspelled, but over the years I’ve learned not to obsess over it when writing in casual forums. Back in the formal confines of school and work, It was more important to dot every I and cross every t, but in an informal social setting such as forums, yeah, not so much. Sorry if it bothers you.

Hey just chiding you. I is near u, so, easy to mess up. My worst is s and d.

What keyboard? On a smartphone? Those are horrid. Even on this iPad I hate how sometimes the keyboard replaces upper letters with the numbers. Desktop always best.

I got your message which is very good, of course!

OTOH, it does show how not being quite there is distracting, and hence why it’s so important! Lord knows whenever a lib types one thing wrong FR picks on it big time!

Take care!

There are cheap bluetooth keyboards available for your phones.

I used a folding one for a while. Nice and rugged, made out of metal. But when I upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy, they did not support it, which is quite the violation of the Bluetooth spec on the part of Samsung. I reported the violation to the Bluetooth Special Interest Group but nothing came of it.
