I do those things all the time-- the computer keyboard is so much faster
than a "real" typewriter, manual or electric, where I used to just jam the
type-bars, no fun at all. Sometimes dear old Spellchecker comes to the
rescue. But Spellchecker has the annoying habit of randomly correcting Kash
or other foreign words. The nicest was, in an Indonesian thing I was
writing, it kept correcting _hukum_ 'law' to _hokum_.
