The people seeking short-term solutions and placing band aids on severed aortas could be happening anywhere, sadly. Who has the time and energy to do the real work? Great post!
Ouch. Winged a wing, did you? Hope you recover quickly. Happened to me a few years ago when I was lifting my granddaughter's luggage to my truck. I snatched it from the ground with my left hand, just as if I was 21 years old and knew what I was doing. The luggage stayed put while the muscles in my upper arm tore. Took about 3 months to heal back to normal. Lucky for me that I had mastered the art of Index Finger Word-Making, commonly known as pecking at the keyboard with a finger. I acquired that skill early in life on a manual typewriter and later on an IBM Selectric. I was fortunate to have entered a nautical profession in 1965 where rapid promotions assured me of the services of a Yeoman (naval secretary) whose duty it was to convert my chicken scratch to a suitably legible typed page. Furthermore, I am actually ambidextrous in this regard. I can peck with two fingers. But increasingly with age and older eyes, my aim is poor and get results like this: "The quick brown fox rab over the hillas if the houns were cahsing it" But I still can proofread my work. Must proofread it, lest I be seen as illiterate or Bidenishly barmy. The nice thing about the IFW-M modality of wordsmithing is that I can have my left hand free for multitasking. Sipping tea or coffee. Eating a donut. Scratching an itch. Or, like when I injured my arm, it set me back not one whit in typing. As you see, I am as quick with two hands as I am with one. Be well, Jayshree.
That sounds painful, too! Yes, arm is immobilized, and two finger typing also limited. But I am taking heart from your story and the story of an Olympian hopeful surfer who broke his back on a wave, and returned after a month, restored, to try the same wave again for gold! Try feeding your garbled sentences into chatgpt with a command to 'fix it.' you will be amazed and no one need be the wiser! Thanks for the good wishes, Dale! I shall mend soon!
Hope you are feeling better by now. I don't fancy AI typing. It doesn't capture my emotions and feels so forced, haha.
Thanks Raksha, and yes, takes some getting used to, but an option nevertheless!

True. It is amazing how few want to dig in and build for the ages. Thanks, Jack!
