The delay between phrasing a point and printing it makes time for revision, and makes the revision less painful than it is with pen a or typewriter, so studetns do more revising. Most of us who work on word porcessors think these advantages make us better writers, though hard evidence is as yet lacking. --University of Wisconsin Teaching Forum.
