I hate to be the waffling, ambivalent fence-sitter here, but I do sympathize with both sides here...
I suffer with an eye disease, & both reading & writing can be quite tedious & hard ro do...I do use a zoom softwars program, but as far as my typing goes, it's hit or miss (& a lot of the latter) So it follows that proofreading can be a little dodgy as well...I think it's safe to say my typos are the stuff of legend around here and a couple of other places!
The flip side of the coin is that it can also be quite a challenge for me to read through a long post, & if it has a lot of typos, run-ons, all lower-case, no punctuation, etc, then it becomes even harder...
But I've been around this & other RR forums long enough to know certain people, & their (not there
) particular styles of not only modeling, but also their widely varying abilities (or lack thereof) of communicating...you just have to learn to work around it...that's life...The good news is - we don't have to read every post!
As a visually impaired person, I can also appreciate the whole contrast thing with the text & background...
While I actually PREFER the light text on a dark background, I know that a lot of crazy fonts, colors & icons, etc, can be a bit of a pain...There used to be a button you could click on that said "Printable Version"
When you clicked on this, it displayed the entire forum in large black text on a white background...I used to do this before I got the ZoomText...
Well, that was another long-winded post wasn't it?
