I didn't take typing in high school because I didn't want to be pigeonholed=
as a secretary. In early years I went in to interview for a technical posi=
tion with a degree in electronics & almost always was asked what my typing =
speed was. When I mentioned about a page ever 2 hours or so, I got intervie=
wed for the job I was applying for. I knew a woman with a Stanford masters =
in physics who in the mid 60s worked as a tech group secretary.
During college when I needed to submit typed papers, I traded typing for ei=
ther a homemade apple pie or a ready to bake homemade lasagna. I single spa=
ce between sentences only on emails. That is because my mailer produces str=
ange characters when I double space a sentence. The books I have authored a=
re all double spaced between sentences and my reviewers have forced me to u=
se oxford comas. They are not used in technical papers.
