…ever posted less then a 2 sentence paragraph??? 
I’m not trying to be mean or making a slight… you’re just very very “vocal”. However, you always have great things to “say” by the way.
I was wondering… do you talk as much as you type?
(yes I realize this is an ironic post from someone who types as little as possible and mostly about bodily functions.)
No, actually, in all seriousness, this is practically my only communication outlet, especially since the Post Office has the Better Half working 12-hour days (if you’re on the Overtime Desired List, you have to take it, even if it means you don’t get home till 8 p.m.) Discussing Pokemon with Bonzo doesn’t count as “communication”.
Thanks to a high school touch typing class (back when they called it Touch Typing, not Keyboarding) I type just about as fast as I think (which sometimes isn’t that fast, granted). I used to make a living as a word processor. 60 wpm on an IBM Selectric (Granny remembers when typewriters didn’t correct themselves, you had to poke a piece of Ko-Rec-Type in there), probably 100 wpm on a keyboard. This would account for the length of my posts–I don’t have to take time to “compose” a post, it just kinda bubbles out.
And no, I’m not really much of a talker IRL. It’s all in my head.
But thank you for asking. 
And “thank you” to the entire Straight Dope Message Board for being such a wonderful captive audience.
When I first started working, right out of high school, I typed for a living. Six copies on a manual with carbon paper. Made a mistake and you had to manually erase all six copies. Boy, we have it easy now.
BTW, you must be retired, and my guess that you are a retired physician. You don’t have to 'fess up. Just curious.
I do miss the “ka-chunk ka-chunk” and the feel of the old Selectric II and IIIs.
Someone could make a mint with a Selectric emulated keyboard…
hmmm…
Nope, not retired, sorry, just a forty-something stay-at-home mom who probably doesn’t get as much housework done as she ought to. It’s just that posting is so much more interesting than dusting…
I hated the correcting Selectric IIIs. They always felt like they had too many bells and whistles–all I wanted to do was just sit there and churn out the text, not cope with the bridge of the starship Enterprise. I worked in one office where I astounded everyone by giving my brand-new III to one of the other secretaries and requesting the typewriter guy to bring me back a plain vanilla II. I was USED to Ko-Rec-Type, dammit!
