So I have been practising writing text with vi on my mobile phone! But I 
feel elderly and incompetent, making many mistakes. Usually when typing 
in a terminal window, I forget what mode I'm in. :-(
So when I think I'm entering a command--actually because I forgot 
something, I'm entering that as text into the document. Or I mix up 
appending (`a') and inserting (`i'). So I get to feel irritated--when 
I'm supposed to be concentrating on my document.
