I am not capable of leaving my posts alone when I see grammar mistakes, usually caused by fat-thumbing on my iPhone, which results in me editing them to correct mistakes. If I was an administrator I would edit posts by others who quote my mistakes before I fix them. I would likely fix the grammar of other members too!

Fat-thumbing!  I love it! I'm totally stealing that expression!  :heart:

In my business we deal with Human Factors Engineering aka Human Systems Integration aka Human Machine Interface to ensure a safe design that reduces risks of operator errors. There is an actual technical thng known as fat-fingering. I can't make this shit up! Basically, if the design allows for an operator to hit a space in between touchbuttons, we need to account for the wrong possible input. We don't put safety-critical functionality, in my world that would be the launching of ordnance, to be next to each other and they all require two independent operator actions...namely a second pop-up confirmation button that pops up elsewhere on the screen.

Trigger, not anywhere near as critical as your work, but years ago when they had teletype machines an sporadic "u" would pop up in the news sent out world wide by the news agency.  They called in repair men, but couldn't find anything wrong with the teletype.  As I said it was sporadic.  After several trips they had the repair man sit down in the office to basically watch the teletype machine and the news reports to see when the "u" showed up.  Found out the teletype operator was large-busted and when she would occasionally reach over the machine to get whatever, she would accidentally hit the "u" key.  Not exactly World War III material, but annoying in news releases.

I am sharing that at work! We should call it fat-boobing! :laugh:

I cant drive full stop. No need to though really. Also not allowed to right now anyway, but I think I'd probably get bad anxiety if I did

Neither can I. I can't see properly out of my left eye so that makes it really hard.

Only get your licence if you really want it, not because someone else wants you to. My niece is in this predicament, everyone gives her heaps about it except me. Anyway driving lessons are really expensive and cars are financial black holes imo.

I can't drive either. I took lessons at age 18 and, with practice, got pretty good at handling the car on quiet streets. It's traffic that defeats me.
Driving is higly interactive and there are too many signals, lights, and other variables for me to process all at once without panicking.
It's probably better for everyone if I don't put my scattered brain behind the wheel of a massive metal machine!  :zombiefuck:
