As a retired lawyer who’s learned to play the computer writing game, I’ll say it’s an exacting activity, far better than its predecessor, that still takes a lot of application and determination that’s only learned with experience.

The first step is to type in your document as reasonably fast as you can without much attention to detail. Then you run spell check, getting about 80% of the errors out. Then you proof read it on the screen and fix whatever else you see that’s wrong. Then you print it out and proof read the hard copy, correcting whatever errors you see (the change in appearance keeps you from reading the document as you want it to be instead of as it really is) and enter the corrections into the final document. Finally (GASP) you print out the final document.

Learning this process takes time and application beyond the abilithy of most 21 year olds.

Interesting...virtually identical to the process I’ve come to use over the years.

That’s only if you maid spelling errors. I never do.
