Re: Typewriter Moments in Conservative History

From a reader whose e-address ends with “cune.edu.” Wow, standards have

really dropped at CUNY — they can’t even spell their own name any more!

“Derb, here’s another for you that I’ve never seen in print. How many

eight-letter words can you find that are typed with all eight fingers? I’ve

found: ‘pralines,’ ‘pleasing,’ and ‘plausive.’ But I know there are

more…”

[NB: I guess the reader is referring to touch-typing, a thing I never

mastered.]
