[stylist] Cursor and JAWS and emails

[Vejas Vasiliauskas]

Spelling mistakes are another issue altogether.  It's so easy to 
just write and write and forget about spelling.
My stupidest spelling mistake was just yesterday, when I was 
writing something important but instead of writing "suits", I 
wrote "schits" because in Braille the u is dots 1-3-6 and the ch 
contraction is dots 1-6, so I forgot the 3.
Really bad as I can really think of one way to pronounce it that 
makes sense!
Any other silly/embarrassing spelling mistakes you have done or 
seen?

I can't explain why or give a technical answer, but sometimes 
JAWS and the
cursor do act wonky.  I've not had this problem with MS Office, 
but when on
the internet, including using the email servor directly (I 
usually use
Outlook) the cursor moves around when I'm using JAWS.  It doesn't 
happen
frequently but it does happen.  As Chris advises, read through 
what you write
before sending, grin.

Chris, Mine has been doing the same thing, you described it quite 
well.  I
have had this issue in the past and then it has gotten better.  
We have never
found the reason though.  My tech people blame it on Freedom 
Scientific.  I
cannot just accept that without some type of justification for 
the diagnosis
or knowing that it is actually a common ailment.  You are the 
first I have
ever heard of who is experiencing this also.  If you ever do find 
the true
cause, or a way to fix it, please let me know.

 Sorry--my computer has been doing that on me lately--the cursor 
just
 jumping around in my email as I type, hence the end of my 
message
 ended up more towards the beginning.  Note to self--read your 
emails
 before hitting send.
