Spot question for the day:

Without googling, does the following phrase mean anything to anybody ?

Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party.

Aye, I don't rest me fingers on the keys either. I've never been sure whether the idea of keeping your fingers on the home keys was meant to be a style-point, or something to reduce strain, or increase speed, or just an aid to learning. I could see that before you were familiar with a keyboard, knowing where your fingers were at all times would be useful.

I suspect we (as children of the internet) are probably the first generation who have, en masse, learnt to type by custom and usage rather than by formal secretarial training.

Actually, I learned to type thanks to secretarial training. I have a certificate somewhere that says I can lay out letters and everything :)

But the internet honed me into the lean, mean, typing machine I am today.
