Sandra, your post is an example of the imaginative and far-reaching messages I enjoy reading on this list. I am so glad folks are experimenting with the dictation option. I admit to distrusting it since it often makes errors which users do not catch through proofreading, and this sometimes makes them appear careless. Nevertheless, I agree it is a very worthwhile service. Perhaps more than any other group, It benefits those who have difficulty typing or cannot do so at all.
