That is precious.

It reminds me...nothing to do with spelling or grammar but, I was in a co-worker's office having a discussion. He schedules people for certain tasking. I noticed that on his wall calendar he had pencilled in, "Jack off > > > > >"

I said, "Wow, you actually schedule that?".

I didn't realize the text would randomize.  I'd like to try again.

I'm a bit upset that I had to spell Ramsaran twice and you only had to spell Ethelbertha once.

I got 86 with no mistakes (I sense and correct as I go). I probably would have scored higher if I had read the stuff I was going to type prior to typing it. I also feel like I type faster when I'm not transcribing but am instead just writing down what comes to my mind.

My goodness some of these are difficult.  I had to do a couple very tough passages (one about Greece with a lot of off-words capitalized that shouldn't have been and beginning words uncapitalized, and another in Old English).  Both were in the low-to-mid 60 range, although without any mistakes.  I did an easier one and finished in 85WPM (1 mistake).

That was a mildly tough one too.  Nice work.

The dashes tripped me up for a second or two - I prefer them like this, you see. ;)

Lol, irony.  Don't feel bad ... I lost my 6th grade spelling bee with "hymn."  (I didn't go to church, so you can guess what I wrote down)

Same. Also, Safari corrected "pastrycook's" to "pastry cook's." Quotations and the name "Ethelbertha" slowed me down. Then again, I'm not a terribly good typer. Second attempt with fewer annoyances gave me the same score.

There's a difference between a typo and mixing up two correctly spelled words out of simple ignorance.

Forgivable: "I'm going ot the store."

Unforgivable: "Look over their!"

Glad I could elaborate on my strict and unreasonable expectations of forum writing.  Cheers!!

I don't know how to quote a post from a different thread so I just copied and pasted it over.  Brandon was polite enough not to make fun of this dufus, but I couldn't let it go.  Normally, I am a good visual speller ... I just write a word down that where I'm not sure about the spelling and can tell if it's right or not.  Apparently, not always.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
