Part of it is due to texting so often. In the case of blind people, I think
a lot has to do with not reading braille and just relying on speech. They
don't know the difference between two, to, too, and 2.
As for the typing rate, I found it strange once I started doing work there,
because we were expected to keep up with the rate at which customers gave us
their credit card numbers. Most of the time, they rattled them off fairly
quickly. I would have thought that 40 was a more reasonable requirement.

Hi Charles,
Only 20 words a minute? I am surprised any place would have such a low
requirement. Most places I've ever applied for wanted at least 40
words a minute bare minimum, and required accurate spelling. Something
I'm afraid I don't see a lot of these days. I don't know if it is pure
laziness, people don't care, but I notice that a lot of people simply
can't spell when posting messages to mailing lists. Sure everyone
makes a mistake or two, but some are way beyond that.

had
a hard time meeting this requirement, while I typed at about 45 words per
minute. When using my iPhone's touch screen QWERTY keyboard, I am
nowhere
near that fast. There certainly is a difference.
