twincityhackerI have found the One True Evil Of word processes:
Try writing phonetic transcriptions. It's bad enough that I have trouble thinking of the correct character in the first transcription system I learned, but now I can't even find the symbols for a unstressed u or a open o. *head desk*
And this is even with the font specifically - -ic to -ical! - made to write phonetic transcriptions with! So I'm cutting and pasting the damm things from a unicode site, as at least I know that the characters are supported, because I just love my rhotacized schwa. (&025A;, if you're wondering what it looks like.)
It's like learning to type all over again. And that sucked, because I kept losing keys and for instance was not able to locate where the c or the the o key was until someone pointed it out to me. Then I promptly lost another key and had to start hunting that one.
Did I mention it snowed here the other day? And it's even sort of sticking, but it's just a light dusting. But you can distinctly see where the steam pipes run under the sidewalks, as there's white stuff on the ground and then there's a big rectangular swatch that is just wet. = )
