TYPO

There are many things which would improve the quality of my life.

For example - I could do with longer legs. Using the same type of battery for all my clocks, remote controls and other gadgets would be good as well as the freedom to drink more than a few glasses of Sauvignon without the punishment of a throbbing headache.

But the single factor that would improve my life most - is the ability to type.


I have tried and tried. But since my attempts on the Amstrad in the eighties there has been little improvement.

Seldom do I manage a capital letter first time. Except on the rare occasions when TWo come along at once like double deckers on Wilmslow Rd.


Anagrams appera - see - appear as if by magic. Spain always comes out as Sapin.

And why do I always get og or od when ‘of’ is just as statistically probable?


I used to think I couldn't read the wvs as it takes me so long to get it right.
Then I realised that I was reading them correctly but mistyping them.
But are these js or is?
I thought this one had an umlaut.
I've tried kiddies typing programmes, learned correct fingering and spent hours practising.

No improvement.

Should I call Mavis Beacon or try voice recognition? And would it understand my trouble a t'mill voice - or would I have to talk posh?
