Or even 'around' <grin>. Yeah, I'm sometimes Typo City when posting to
COLA, as I lost the habit of touch-typing correctly many years ago.
Though I'm better since I swapped my bog-standard Dell keyboard for a nice
MS-made curved one more like the split keyboards I've been used to. I can
still touch-type fairly well if I do so very slowly and concentrate.

True. Typos can be a minor annoyance, but so long as the message gets
though, I don't see that they are such a huge deal. That said, I do prefer
to spell properly if I can.
