The traffic was extraordinary due to a bad accident on the libramiento resulting in closure in both directions.

But the traffic is definitely picking up around here.

Traffic is not the only thing picking up:  (Note: In this article.. The Government of Mexico only reports COVID-19 tests and cases that exist within the public health system, private hospitals and private laboratories results are not included in the daily reports.)

I notice, not only on this site, but on Facebook, that many people fail to check their typing before they post something.   In your topic line you said "Began", whereas I think you meant "Begun".  Then you go on to say "bumber to bumber" instead of "bumper to bumper".  Forgive me for being picky, but I see more and more of this all the time.

I find that using my notepad while my maid cleans my office and thus the use of those pointer things makes me make mistakes unknowingly.

Oh well, first we lost chivalry, then we lost penmanship, now we are losing spelling. With Harry, I blame the little keyboards too. Autocorrect is insane.

Yes, it annoys me when I make spelling mistakes on Facebook. If only you could edit your posts.

One can edit their posts. Click on the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner of your post. You can edit, delete, etc.

It is not just autocorrect. There is also “predictive spelling.” You hit two or three letters and the program fills in the word you are most likely (from past writing) to be using. Type fast, don’t be paying attention, don’t proofread before hitting send or post and driving a motorcycle becomes drinking a motorcycle. Add those to typos and you have lots of “mistakes.”

If you speak Spanish instead of English all of the time you forget the order of words in a simply sentence sometimes and have to stop and think about the correct order of words in a sentence in English to post it correctly.

Not in Facebook messenger.

[NLU 208]

 I don't think that I said that one could. Please read your post. You said 'posts.' However if one clicks on the 3 dots in the upper left of one's message, one can remove it. Then , one can retype hopefully without the typos.

I apologize in advance for trying to be helpful.

I suspect we all know what he meant.

I am sure you do.  But my point was that we should stop being lazy and re-read what we have typed before we post it.  Maybe I am just old-fashioned.

This thread reminds me of the blue Charmin bears commercial.
