You are a funny lady Shawnee!

Touch-type. Old school mechanical typewriters that went twackatwackatwacka on the paper, particularly if you hadn't remembered to lower the bail on the platen. I was never fast or good, and if my Backspace key ever breaks my typing breaks down into Low Dutch, but I think my speed has improved. Accuracy improves by keeping the touch-typing fingers moving rhythmically.

I get all excited when you spank me and say phrases like "bail on the platen."

hey, I tried the typing site.
