Not about Japan ~ deliberately.

Has any one else noticed that their spelling has gone down-hill since using spell-check on a regular basis. I did once know how to spell 'deliberately'. But laziness has set in, with the: 'I can always use spell-check', attitude. I used to pride myself on being able to spell. I put effort into it. I committed to memory the correct spelling of words I only once knew how to speak, and before that, didn't even know existed. There is awful beauty to discovering new words. A mystery uncovered. But as I change along side the flowing river of time. The line becomes thinner and I teeter along trying not to fall one side or the other. Must I really decide which way to jump? Or will I leave it to fate, and wait till an accident of nature decides for me. A self-imposed exile.
