What could be better than white out?

Question

What is really the point of white out? like the other day i had to turn in a typed paper in college, and im like 'oh..my...goodness..i made a mistake GIVE ME THE WHITEOUT!!!' so i white out the word then wait for it to dry then write the actual spelling over, then im like 'oh great. great! just GREAT. now i've got a huge chunky BLOB with unreadable chicken scratchings on it on my PAPER!!!!! UGHH' and thats what got me thinkin? so what do you think?

Answer 1

haha that was funny :-). I have used the tape thing, I like that better. Other than that...not sure if there's anything better in the market. Just proofread the best u can b4 u print it or print it again...and put the previous pages for recycle.  

Answer 2

theres like this tape that you put on it sooo much less messy and you dont have to wait for it to dry

its called duck-it or something

its in a blue despenser

Answer 3

with all the word processors out there, why type it???

did you let the white-out   dry  thoroughly?  in the old days you had to do that????

Answer 4

same as the first answerer but i'm pretty sure its called white-out tape not duck-out

Answer 5

My ex would tell you "velcro!"

Answer 6

I really know what you mean because that happens to me all the time!! I wouldn't use white out tape either because the colors are never quite the same as the paper. I would recommend proof reading your papers and try doing things in pencil first then doing it over in pen, then waiting for the pent to dry and erasing the pencil.

Answer 7

No mistakes...?

Answer 8

Write in pencil first and then do it over in ink.Though,that would take a while for a college paper....just use white out tape like the other two said!
