**Nightshadea** all your posts are riddled with mistakes. I won’t link to individual ones, as anybody can do a view posts by nightshadea, pick a post at random, and I guarantee there will be at least 5 mistakes. **Nightshadea** , you are the worst by far. Almost everyone makes typos but you take the piss. Sort it out. ---

Linky? If you’re going to go to the trouble of making a pit-thread, you could have the decency to at least link to ONE example of that of which you pit. Thanks… ---

He/she is posting from a phone, with the expected mistakes. That is not to excuse him/her (I am friggin ANAL about correcting mistakes, even on a phone and even on a quick message) but not everyone is like me. Unfortunately. 😃 ---

Sure looks like phone posting to me, but it’s LAZY phone posting. The spelling errors, the occasional use of text-speak, the lack of capitalization, etc. Very irritating to try to decipher. And I’m not sure worth the effort. ---

I’m using iOS10 on a iPhone6 and I’m really impressed by the accuracy and ease of use of voice to text. Their beta transcription of voicemail to text is pretty damn accurate as well. ---
