 10 hours/week x 60 minutes/hour x 50 words/minute

 Our own Alfred Butts said about 12% of them are 'E's. That would 
 make 14,400 times the computer key E gets pounded per week. 
 If what the imitator claimed is true, you'd expect the key E 
 in your computer to disintegrate in about a month. 

xcllnt analysis, Sam! As an aspiring scrnwritr AND a wannab Intrnt hackr, I fully undrstand th ncssity for quality. Just imagin th mbarrasmnt causd whn hacking th CNN wbsit, and instad of xcuting th script c7grpkill.pl, you actually do c7grpkill.pl. Oh brothr! I wouldn't wanna show my fac at DFCON after a malaprop lik that!

Don't lt thos lying Canadian bastards disparag our Yank workmanship.
