Also, let us remember that we are posting on a message board with those currently going through or survivors of chemo, with all of the cognitive impairment that chemo brain and the struggles that typing with hands impacted by neuropathy brings.
I work as a copywriter and copy-editor, as well as a social media/community manager. Personally, my writing, editing, and typing skills are nowhere near where they were before I went through chemo. My chemo brain and neuropathy have gotten a bit better, but there is still a marked difference between how I write now than how I wrote then. Grammar takes a lot more concentration, words come out out of order, typos are much more common, and I have a harder time proofing. This is not uncommon for cancer survivors.
Some appreciation and respect seems to be in order here.
