"How did you learn to type so fast?"

"Well you see I get really angry at people on Reddit...."

The average Reddit user has nothing on MMORPG and FPS players of old. Back when you had to type a sentence blazing fast so you could get back to the hot keys. Often leading to misspellings and many times hotkeys being sent in chat.

I originally learned how to type and program on MUDs.

MUDs were before we had high enough speed internet that the typing could keep up. I remember typing out stuff and waiting as it slowly showed up on the screen. Memories. LOL

This is how I learned in 2000? Except instead of reddit it was Diablo 2 and Everquest chat.

Also forums like flame4cash and ShinraOnline.

Nah its about effectiveness, typing fast will make you do a typo which they'll use to disregard your whole argument with a strawman.
