(36 posts)I can't remember, but I am trying (unsuccessfully) to find out.
I don't have a problem with her dictating a letter to someone, however. She doesn't have a problem texting, and that often puzzles me..."Autocorrect" drives me crazy!!!
I'm pretty sure that there is a ton of useless garbage that I had beaten into me by educators during the '60's and '70's that is no longer even slightly relevant - like the metric system, French immersion, Religion, Latin, or Social Studies (I can't even remember what this MEANS, yet I took it for 2 years)...
It shouldn't even remotely be a problem, as long as she maintained that she dictated it from the beginning (prosecutor's interview, defense deposition) and didn't misrepresent herself as having written it...
