    Curious about the math you use to calculate that percentage. Show your work!

      Hah! I would have estimated more like one percent but I do still type with a real keyboard occasionally, where I am markedly faster and more accurate. Nevertheless, I still delete most emails, notes, comments, etc without saving them.

        That’s really curious to me. I delete what must be less than 1% of the things I write with the intention to send. Maybe I’m reckless? Or maybe I think carefully enough before deciding on starting to type something worth sending? I dunno.

        But deleting almost one hundred percent of what you type, seems like a lot of wasted time at the keyboard, to me.

          I type pretty fast, it is more just that my brain doesnt work very well. Many times I am writing things just to organize my thoughts.

            Okay, yeah. I wonder how long it took you to write those other 99 comment drafts that you discarded before sending this last one. Or the one before your latest comment. 😅😉
