both types of writing convey information to a reader, whether the reader is a stranger, a close friend, or the writer himself. misspellings, awkward sentences, and incorrect grammar can be found in both handwritten and typed text.it is much easier to get away with an error in handwriting than in print. in handwritten text, a character can be ambiguous-is that an a or an o?-whereas a choice must be made when a keyboard is used. although a person writing by hand must usually rely on himself for spacing wrthin and between words, for respecting marging, and for correcting errors, most word processing programs take care of such spacing and layout concerns automatically, and some will correct common misspellings and other errors.
