If any of you notice a difference in my writing style or an increase in my punctuation errors, it could be because I've just started working with Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11, a speech recognition package that I'm using on my home computer. It puts an added burden on me to proofread what I've written and I've never been all that great at proofreading.

In general though I'm very impressed with it. In addition to using it for most of my typing, I've defined a bunch of special words, such as  


"ONTAGS," "OFFTAGS,"  
"ONBOLD,OFFBOLD"
"ONITALICS","OFFITALICS"
"ONUNDERLINE","OFFUNDERLINE"
"ONGREEN" 
"ONDARKRED"  
and "OFFCOLOR" (which gets used at the end of all colors.)
"ATOMICBOBSROUND" (#board-231)
"ATOMICBOBSPOPE" (#board-501")


It's saving me a ton of time. But if I don't carefully proofread what I've written Dragon can make some strange mistakes. In that respect I guess it's not so different from my normal writing!
