And so here's a toast to those among us who eschew the largest keys on the keyboard in order to hold true to their ethos that no more than one key should ever be pushed at the same time
that's not true, i had to hit "ctrl" and "c" to copy the above statement, and "ctrl" and "v" to paste it. i also had to "shift" a number of times now to type all those quotes. i also hit "shift" and "ctrl" and an arrow key or two all at once to highlight some things as i was typing, in order to select them for deletion, due to typographical errors. i also have to hit "shift" a few times every time i insert an html tag, though i admit i wouldn't have to if i used dbcodes instead.
i just type this way because it's faster for me, and you get in certain habits like that on the internet. especially if you're on aim all day. perhaps it's a mistake, and i should slow down a bit, as my posts are often filled with typos. but then again, so are my papers (which DO use proper capitalization, i swear), often more so. what seems to be causing my typos is that my brain fires things off very fast, often faster than i can type, and so i miss words and conjugations and plural endings and such.

On the other hand, I will seek out and destroy all those who write in ebonics. I highly doubt people talk like that in the 3-D world.
