Interesting thought. I must confess that my spelling has gotten worse since using Word. It's my fault for being lazy.

FWIW, my spelling has improved since spell-check. Its nice to be able to see a corrected spelling and after using it a few times, it sticks.

I do keep a journal in pencil, just to stay attached to the old way.

I sort of discount this story due to pencil's still being cheap, someone is buying them.
