OK  :)
So I have another reason not to be jealous to people with high typing
skills.
I'm typing real slow, I never tried to learn it properly.

The advantage is that I have to proof read everything.
Many times I've erased my text (or kept from posting it) even though
there have been no typos in it.

I wish I were a slow speaker, too :)
