Besides " losing" things, or with the 3 remotes picking up the wrong one & wondering why the buttons don't work, also standing at the frig for 20 seconds wondering what I came for - at the right place without a clue!

For missing words, Google is a superficial crutch - doing a Search for synonyms (knowing the concept of what I'm trying to say) and the word pops up, though this doesn't address the real problem. It's disconcerting being in the middle of a story or joke and coming to a screeching stop for a missing word.

Your last sentence was a different screecing reality! But thanks- sincerely!
