John, your spelling has had many glaring errors in the past. Throwing stones/glass houses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbie Bobster Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 IIRC, John uses speech-to-text software so it's beyond the pale to criticise him for his spelluing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I've given up speech to text as my typing skills have improved. In the late 1990s I had a little racket on the Island composing CVs ....in confidence of course! Met a few known people. None of them the esteemed JW.. However, it was rather odd that so many young Advocates and ones up to say 40 in particular could not type...We were all like that in the City in the 1970s ie we drafted telexes and documents etc by hand and then an operator typed them up for us and we had to approve the draft and then it was done. By 1980 everyone had to do their own typing etc... In the 1970s it was a sign of lowly standing if you had to do your own typing and telexing....I suspect that the Isle of Man lawyers were probably still back in the 1970s in the 1990s! Since the 1980s shipbrokers of which I was then one have had to draw up their own charter parties and sale documents... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Down Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Nothing odd about it at all. Advocates were not paid to type, that's why they employed typists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wright Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I never sent telexes live. However I composed them and prepared the hole punch ticker tape more than once. before memory typewriters, and then computers and word processing it didn't make sense fees wise for an advocate to type. Now I have 100's of precedents stored electronically and can cut, paste, edit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even as students they would have needed to type I would have thought. That is the context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just found it odd because by then even as a student you needed to type I would have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
