VISUAL vs. VERBAL PRECISION
I just switched to the "new editor" here on Blogger, but I notice they seem to have forgotten the spell-check option. (I see by searching "Help" there are some workarounds, none of which is as easy as the original spell-check. And there is supposed to be a highlight incorrect spelling feature, but it seems to depend on your browser and OS.)
As a poor typist, I want my spell checker. But, as a copy editor, I have very mixed feelings: I never rely on or urge anyone else to use spell checking as the definitive, final edit.
The new editor does make loading images much easier (although the old one forced me to learn some html.)
Perhaps this oversight means eveyone is just loading photos now; no real writing is being done by the You-tube crowd?
Next to be disabled: the CAPS key?
