I agree that Graffiti is no way to enter text data, but I have to admit
that I have Graffiti installed on my Newt mainly as a quick and dirty
method of inserting punctuation and doing quick text formatting. I find
that a couple of quick gestures are far faster than accessing pre-defined
characters using CaretPro or similar.

There, I said it.
