<div> <font size="3">I never took a typing class, I am self taught. I remember staying up all night typing a report for class in highschool. When I started working there was no need for an engineer to type. Enter the desk-top computer. Now I spend most of my time staring at a screen typing on a keyboard. Who'd a thunk?</font><br>

<div dir="ltr">In 1990, when I graduated HS, if you were going to graduate and be "college bound", you had to take a typing class. It was Sr. year and it was "Health" one semester, "Typing" the next or vice versa.<br clear="none"><br clear="none">If you were "Vo-Tech" typing was an option, but "Health" was still mandatory. <br clear="none"><br clear="none">Same teacher taught both classes. One of the most bitter and angry people I have ever met. <br clear="none"><br clear="none">The though of "Health" class taught by an angry, frigid, humorless 60 year old woman still makes me wonder. I guess if you had to manage the subject matter with a bunch of teenagers, many of whom were headed nowhere, after a few years, you would end up like that too.<br clear="none"><br clear="none">Typing was one of the most valuable skills I ever learned. <br clear="none"><br clear="none">My kids all had typing classes in public schools in 1st and 2nd grade post 2010. <br clear="none"><br clear="none">Time and technology change everything. <br clear="none"><br clear="none">I wish I could learn to type on a phone and manage the "autocorrect", that would be something.<br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none">-----Original Message-----<br clear="none">From: Triumphs <<a shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:triumphs-bounces@autox.team.net" rel="noopener noreferrer" removedlink__db9d0e28-591e-4599-87d4-e78a57128e96__href="mailto:triumphs-bounces@autox.team.net">triumphs-bounces@autox.team.net</a>> On Behalf Of TeriAnn J.

I single space between sentences only on emails. That is because my mailer produces strange characters when I double space a sentence. The books I have authored are all double spaced between sentences and my reviewers have forced me to use oxford comas. They are not used in technical papers.<br clear="none"><br clear="none">TeriAnn<br clear="none"><br>
