    New technologies Uncle.

    No. But I heard of some new keyboards that do. I believe it's called the "I'm a coward and a weasel keyboard". I.C.W.K. for short.

    I measure it at just under 4 inches. That's pretty darn close.

    Since I'm a touch typist, the distance between "A" and "U" on my keyboard is the distance between my left pinky and my right index finger.

    I have a QWERTY keyboard, so they are pretty far apart.

    But nevertheless, I often mess distant letters up. (Sorry English teachers, I couldn't stop myself.)

    Normally, I don't type most common words consciously letter-by-letter. Instead, I have these mental subroutines installed that treat words as units and move my fingers in a little dance to produce them.

    Unfortunately, some of those subroutines are badly corrupted. I always type because (I had to consciously think to accomplish that) 'becasue' (that's what my fingers want to automatically do.) If you haven't observed it in my posts, it's because (had to fix that) I usually proofread.

    So I guess that I can imagine some kind of mental corruption that messes up vowels when somebody types too fast.

    Sorry, Uncle;

    Is this about ME?

    I am FOREVER typing "becuase", after all...

    Guess he's missing the three fingers between the little finger and thumb. :D

    I'm guessing he's again been called "Junko", nasbarne.

    The problem here is not what someone has been called, but the lame excuses used to justify the name-calling. Inexcusable troll-like behavior.

    I disagree, Miguel, they are not lame excuses; they are just plain, outright, blatant, purposeful, volitional, shameful lies!
