Ha, ha..I remember when I went back to college twenty years ago talking to some of my college profs. a number who weren’t much older than me (early forties). A few of them confided in me about how disgusted they were with some of their (mostly young) students who would hand in shoddy term papers that had little or no corrective work done to them despite having computers, spell-check, and all the other new gizmos available to them. After typing term papers with an old manual typewriter, I was stunned how easy it was with computers or the Brothers word processor I used.
You must be about my age...I took an English class my freshman year of college (’91-’92) and my professor said I wrote better than most of the seniors he had taught. I am not sure if that was a compliment or not, looking back on it. I also typed my papers with a Brother word processor that my parents gave me for Christmas that year. There was no ‘internet’ and email was in the near future.
