Research Paper without a Spellchecker?
If I would to enumerate the things I’ve done in Pisay that I’m proud of, writing a research paper with two other groupmates (Boon and Tomi) without a grammar and spellchecker would be it.
I bet most people nowadays don’t care much when they hit a wrong key, the computer will correct it anyway. But in our case; we’ve been careful in hitting the keys – made sure that everything in the screen was right – pushed the backspace whenever we push the wrong keys and correct them.
Sounds lame, right? But I think it deserves to be written here.
There are still instances in life in which we have to lessen our technological dependence. These are instances in which our technologies fail. My only advice would be – be prepared. Always think of the unexpected. No one knows when your word processor’s spellchecker, grammar checker and AutoCorrect function would fail? It could be a minute from now, tomorrow, or while making your uber-important reports
Hahaha. Lame post. I’m writing this spontaneously from my unorganized brain.
Good luck!
