    I don't know why, but thinking of the internet with missing pieces reminds me of Alzheimer's. The information was once there, but now it is inaccessible. The thing I wonder about the other comments left here pertains to information that seems innocent enough being used for evil means in the future.

    Nothing. My father had a major stroke and his writing is like that. He does the best he can and I would assume the same about someone that I can understand.

    This! It's much like someone speaking with an accent. If you can clearly understand the meaning of what they're saying, even if it might sound a little strange, it's not worth diverting the conversation to correct. It's also toeing the line of rudeness because the person pointing out the correction can very easily come off as "holier than thou" if not careful.

    AutoChess. Specifically? Dota Underlords has stolen my soul. I haven't ever even played Dota and I'm completely hooked. There's something about praying to RNjesus and Lootcifer after the timer clicks down that just scratches the itch. I have come to love some of the characters and it might wind up being my gateway into the moba world? Maybe? I can't wait for more characters. They're trying out a free battle pass type of thing right now where you can earn rewards, too. UGH, save me, but also don't.
