Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.
This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.
Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…
We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

Ooooo like the sound of that. dictation would be a boon for me. My fingers can't keep up with my brain. (which says more about my typing skills than any cranial capacity).
I can imagine. I sometimes think Iraq must be the unluckiest country ever. Can't imagine how difficult it must be / have been for most citizens.So in future phrases like "I should be dictating", "I'm in the middle of dictation" will be common. Wouldn't that make us 'dictators' - as an Iraqi such use of terms still conjure up a raw past....
Yes, I agree; but it could be useful for when you already know what you want to say, eg if you have a handwritten draft which you scribbled out when travelling without a 'puter. It's not perfect though: e.g 'antibodies' becomes 'Auntie's bodice' ... many other similar mistranscriptions.
