I love the squiggly red underline of death -- except when I forget to change the language settings on whatever document I'm working on, and all of my Canadian spelling gets flagged. But I'm the kind of writing nerd that stresses about spelling mistakes in text messages.

Still, I'm sure some free-hand, free-thought writing exercises would do me good, because worrying about spelling when you're trying to capture a good idea can certainly be distracting.
