I’m sitting in the phone room trying to use Google Docs new voice typing feature so far it’s working pretty well. it turns out that voice typing won’t punctuate your sentences for you. Capital R. I’m not sure how to capitalize the first word in a sentence. also, it censors your curse words.

The linguist and blogger Gretchen McCullough reports that voice typing will use words In sentences like I wish My f****** computer would treat me like an adult voice typing feature is a real piece of s***. new on

There are some errors in the paragraph above. McCaulou’s surname is spelled incorrectly. in the previous sentence, it is spelled incorrectly again. You’ll have to click the link to her blog at the bottom of this post in order to learn the correct spelling, it looks like. Also, the paragraph above should read quote backspace delete quotation mark

Let’s try that again. also, the second paragraph should read italic

Let’s try that again. also, the second paragraph should read Will use asterisks to censor your words, not will use words. it is difficult or impossible to generate quotation marks or otherwise indicate a quote. I’m not sure whether it’s possible to delete text. Sometimes the program here’s new on instead of the command that generates a line break, which I won’t stay here for fear Love Actually Love Actually actually generating of actually generating a line break. it also has difficulty with homonyms, such as here and here. good try.

Open parentheses. nope, that doesn’t work either. what I was trying to say before was, and this next part is a quote, which I won’t say here for fear of actually generating a line break. it worked! Hell yeah.

Back to the matter at hand. Voice typing will let you say hello. god dammit. voice typing will let you say hello. god dammit. voice typing will let you say god dammit as well as hell, which it will occasionally interpret as hello.

Let’s test the limits of what’s permissible with George Carlin’s famous 7 words you can’t say on television. shall we begin? s*** piss f*** c*** c********* mother f***** tits.

I wish my f****** computer would treat me like an adult.
