Harvard Medical School has, over the past 8 years been researching the effects of Slingo on users. They started the research shortly after Slingo's 5th year of running.
The results were astounding! Over those 8 years of interviews, examining thousands of candidates, Harvard Medical School determined the following:
"Excessive playing of Slingo has a detrimental effect to the player. These effects, (henceforth referred to as "Slingoisms") can affect the player in numerous ways. They include, but are not limited to, Peripheral Acuity Atrophy (PAA). PAA causes the player to be unable to see any punctuation symbols on the keyboard, which means that anything they type is just one long neverending sentence. The next Slingoism is Case Sensitivity Apathy (CSA). CSA shows itself by making the player unable to distinguish between upper and lower case characters, the effect of this is that player will often type in either all upper or all lower case characters. This, combined with PAA, means that the player is also unable to see if the CAPS-LOCK light is on or off, and also make them unable to see the CAPS-LOCK key itself."
Think yourself lucky that you've not played for while. Hopefully, the effects may be reversible.
Good Luck.
