    I believe it does. I have been programming for 10 years and now I believe I can't write sentences without specific phrases. I can't write improper sentences. My hands stuck, keyboard refuses and cries out. Do you feel that too? :confused:

    It may not improve my spelling skill because of intellisense.

      No. I said I can't write improper english like, "hi wht r u doing?". I have usually started writing in passive voice and reduced use of active voices.

                  More often than not I have found my email sentences to be terminated with semi-colons more than anything else.

                          No. Instant Messaging and email has degraded my grammar. I used to be very good with grammar when I was in high school. Now I think I am pretty bad.

                            Do you mean that you can't write a sentence with the word "for" in it unless it has a "next", too?

                              Why? The active voice is fantastic.

                                But you can still write useless things. I prefer useful info with wrong grammar & spelling than the contrary. (The best being useful info in correct grammar, but you find this as often as 100$ bills in the middle of the street). /* Increase i by 1 */ i++; :rolleyes:

                                'Useful info' with incorrect grammar or spelling is suspect, in my opinion, thereby rendering it less useful.

                                        I have an excuse; my daughter is a big fan of their stuff. I gave her a collection of their movies for her birthday a couple years ago. All we heard from her were giggles coming out of her room for a week :-D.

                                          I've not noticed anything happening to my grammar, but my handwriting has suffered. It looks like a drunken spider has wandered across the page
