Figure this is less of a problem today and wonder if they have coined a term for cellphone texting cramps or tablet cramps besides possibly carpal tunnel syndrome? Actually have to wonder in general what problems we have created over the last 20 years with electronic devices...poor posture especially in the cervical region, effects on our vision, longterm health effects, etc.

LoopyLynda74, Problems like staying up playing Trivia Games; Problems like sleepless nights for stewing over wrong answers on Trivia games...Problems like ignoring your Significant Other because of addiction to Trivia Games...Yes problems with electronic devices and Trivia Games, such as this one!

Sandyberry, had same happen when learning writing, first with. the big pencils down to the Ticonderoga #2's. Still have my callous. To me there is nothing like giving or receiving a handwritten note. It's a crime that cursive isn't even being taught at most schools anymore. I don't want it to become a dying art, shameful.

Sandyberry, My nephew had to learn how to write his name in cursive at 19 yrs old when he went to open a bank account. He was surprised that they wouldn"t let him print!

I remember having this problem in school when we were learning to write cursive. I actually got a blister on my birdie finger that over time became a callus. They made us practice on and on and on! 😵
And now the public schools here don't even teach cursive writing anymore. None of my kids were taught it and consequently can't read it easily either. (Nor do they know how to write their signature.)

Sounds the same as carpal tunnel

A little off the subject but my greatgrands can't tell time on a clock with hands or read cursive. So I bought each one a watch with hands and wrote a nice, lovely long letter in cursive. They all learned and wrote back in cursive.

Not a doctor here, but I think there's a chance that graphospasm can be confused with DuPuytren's contracture. Look it up.

It is still called writers cramp, there is also musicians cramp. It causes lifelong pain in hands wrists and forearms. No you can't write, but you also can't use a knife and fork or chop vegetables or meat to cook. There is no cure or remission

this game needs way more science and animal questions and less film and postal abbreviation questions!!

Grapho is Greek for "writing" (present continuous tense)
