Typing

When I was in High Schoo; (School),  I did not take typing; instead I took as much science and math as I could.

This has led to some very strange typing from me.

I commented on my son's Facebook entry and typed: "How more real can it hey?" when I meant "How much more real can it get?".  As you can see above "Schoo;" vs. "School."

When I ypye (type) interesting I usually type "intersting."  If I didn't have the Speel (spell) check, the Lord alone knows what might be put out by me!  Of course as above "Speel" is a real word, it is fortunate I noticed it.

I use a modified all finger technique where I try to make the right letters come out.  In addition, my close vision is getting pretty bad so I mess up that way also!

So if you get any emails or comments from me; BEWARE!

“Communication is a skill that you can learn. It's like riding a bicycle or typing. If you're willing to work at it, you can rapidly improve the quality of very part of your life.”  Brian Tracy


“I am returning this otherwise good typing paper to you because someone has printed gibberish all over it and put your name at the top”


“Real Programmers don't write in PASCAL, or BLISS, or ADA, or any of those pinko computer science languages. Strong typing is for people with weak memories.”


“To this day, I get rewrite offers where they say 'We feel this script needs work with character, dialogue, plot and tone,' and when you ask what's left, they say 'Well, the typing is very good.'” John Sayles


“I heard someone tried the monkeys-on-typewriters bit trying for the plays of W. Shakespeare, but all they got was the collected works of Francis Bacon.” Bill Hirst



Writing can be a very solitary business. It's you sat at a desk typing words into a computer. It can get lonely sometimes and lots of writers live quite isolated lives.  Paul Kane
