One more thing. If you're typo-phobic and grammatical and spelling errors make you want to scream... avoid craigslist.org That place is a 'showcase' for the worst you'll ever see in abuse of the English language. Cn't blm txtng fr it either. Craigslist was that bad before text messaging on cellphones, but it may have become worse since.
I'm a compulsive reader. Put text in front of my eyes, I read it. I don't just recognize a STOP sign, I *read* the word STOP, every time. That comes from being dyslexic. I learned to overcome it for reading and can read quite quickly, when I'm not tired. I waited to start the Harry Potter books until #7 was out, then read them all in two weeks. Not uncommon for me to blast through a 400+ page book in a single Friday night. "WTF? It's Six AM!" But writing always was a huge PITA, or pain in the hand, until personal computers. Hooray for the backspace key! I'm not a fast typist but unless I'm tired I'm mostly accurate. I do know instantly when I hit the wrong key, I know I'm tired when I hit the wrong key several times in a row and have to *think hard* to push down that @#%@% dyslexia and force my finger to the correct key. Then I go to bed. Same for when I'm reading and have to back up a bit and have read the same bit three or four times and still don't know what I've read and the book's fallen on the floor...
