Blame Autocorrect, NOT Voice Recognition

"(RantWoman,) One Friend told me that you frequently do not keyboard emails, but use voice recognition software and dictate emails...."

One Friend would be WRONG and REALLY should NOT be going around spreading misinformation. PLEASE convey to One Friend the following: . RantWoman hates voice recognition software and uses it as little as possible. Once in awhile RantWoman uses voice recognition on her phone to look up some tech support issue but RantWoman does NOT like talking to her devices. RantWoman likes talking TO PEOPLE through her devices! RantWoman does not use voice recognition software for one thing because RantWoman gets really tired of all the transcription errors she reads in the emails she gets from all kinds of other people who do use voice recognition software.

We do of course live in an age where there are many technological paths to message manglement. Consider Autocorrect. Consider RantWoman's idiosyncratic vocabulary, use of slang, jargon common to subcultures such as Quakerdom. RantWoman can cite WAY too many times when her phone thinks it knows what RantWoman means to say better than RantWoman does.

WRONG! And WRONG in ways that wind up being hard to edit for a funky reason RantWoman has not untangled. SOMETIMES the volume up / volume down buttons work to move forward and back in a message. Sometimes RantWoman's phone thinks she specifically wants to adjust the volume for her talking accessibility features. RantWoman has no way of predicting which option will come up. RantWoman thinks POSSIBLY there might be a tech support  / training video out theresomewhere to help RantWoman achieve more predictable results., but so far RantWoman has not intersected with any such thing.

RantWoman does TRY to observe the following forms of email discipline:

--RantWoman prefers to edit long email on real keyboards, particularly if Autocorrect has already mangled something RantWoman did not notice until too late.

--RantWoman tries not to respond on any multi-person email thread more than once in 24 hours. RantWoman makes exceptions when she (or someone else) makes new subject lines but each new thread only gets one response.

--RantWoman is extremely cautious about sending out email after 10 pm. RantWoman's experience: sometimes after 10 pm, RantWoman is highly certain that the internet needs her efforts. RantWoman recognizes that her judgment may misfire. RantWoman also invites readers to consider that sometimes when email gets sent at that hour, the universe REALLY NEEDS IT if only for the need to practice looking at the time stamp before deciding whether to do anything besides hold RantWoman in the Light.
