I'd much rather have one that does exactly what I want it to than one that has half a mind (or less) of its own -- "damn you, NotoCorrect!" No iTuba for me, thanks ... :lol:

There you go makeing me do some thinking on a holiday! I didn't know what "sturm and drang " was so I had to go look it up.

Sturm und Drang (German pronunciation: [ˈʃtʊʁm ʊnt ˈdʁaŋ], literally "Storm and Drive", "Storm and Urge", though conventionally translated as "Storm and Stress")[1] is a proto-Romantic movement in German literature and music taking place from the late 1760s through the early 1780s, in which individual subjectivity and, in particular, extremes of emotion were given free expression in reaction to the perceived constraints of rationalism imposed by the Enlightenment and associated aesthetic movements. The period is named for Friedrich Maximilian Klinger's play Sturm und Drang, which was first performed by Abel Seyler's famed theatrical company in 1777.

sturm und drang
We used to call it "sturm und dreck" (on the good days; on the bad days, it usually mutated into "sturm und 'shys'" :oops: )
