Chris, I am working on certification as a Spanish/English translator, so typing actually is rather important. However, since that involves research, equally important is being able to quickly do research. I would like to not have to worry as much about small typing errors, and to simply improve in general.
I used to be really bad about not checking documents or e-mail before I sent them, but I learned a while back to have my spell check turned on and to use it before I send out e-mails. What I still need to work on is reading back over e-mails before I send them. :) Thanks, Harry On oct 28, 2012, at 10:55 a.m., Christopher-Mark Gilland <clgillan...@gmail.com> wrote: > I don't know of any programs or web sites, but just wanted to throw in, > remember, typing isn't a race.
