-tictech message:

Dear Mark:
I don't have a Ph.D., but I am considering making my kids learn to write
with
a fountain pen. Their handwriting is atrocious. For that matter so was mine.
The fountain pen helped me enjoy handwriting more and try harder. My
spelling
was a terrible challenge for me. I was horrible at it. Spell Check cured me.
The instant correction improved my spelling better than all those years of
spelling tests. I now spell reasonable well. I think Spell Check could well
outdate those nasty old spelling programs. Think of the time saved! The
hours
we could spend on other subjects!

Perhaps the "creators of tests" will someday understand this, along with the
administrations who require the tests.
