I have a question!

Do any of you believe that with the computer we are becoming lazy in our spelling and grammar? Do we allow the computer to catch our mistakes?

To obtain my certificate I had to write a 4 hour case study by hand. I am the first to admit I do not like to hand write anything more than a sentence or 2. Why because I have always had messy hand writing and I always will, plus spelling has not always been one of my strong points.

I like to use the computer so that when I am expected to produce a report for work, or for school, I let Word catch my basic mistake while I concentrate on ideas and what I am presenting. Should we not be using the tools we have available, e.g. the computer/Word. I firmly believe I should be graded on my presentation, thoughts and flow vs. if I spelt a word correctly or not.
