I would like to issue a general warning to all you young people, and old ones as well, on the subject of contests in email length. I have recently entered into such a contest with a young lady back in America where I make my home when not travelling through France. The rules are very simple, every email sent back and forth must be longer than the one recieved, all subject matter must be coherent and typed immidiately before being sent--carrying on a normal conversation, and not coppied over and over.....on short, a regular email, just very very long. The loser of this contest must wear a donkey hat to the stated location of "school."

At this time we have reached the sickening length of 2,643 word emails. That was my last one, in response to her 2,604 word email which was in response to my 2,540 word email....as you see this has gone on for a long time, I have probably written multiple thousands and thousands of words over this time! However, I have no interest in wearing the donkey hat.

While I enjoy emailing this nice young lady by the very virtue that she is, in fact, a young lady, my fingers are growing excedingly tired. Any tips on what I could do to type faster without feeling the terrible pain would be helpful in this situation.....I seek not to bend the rules which I layed down myself, only to ignore the dreadfull crampings of my fingers.

Thankyou and goodbye....

How fast do you type in Words Per Minute? The thing might be that you type too slow.
I'm about 145... That would be about average, I think.

@ LGM: That too is text to speech, I'd need the opposite.

@ Spunky: you DO NOT type 145 words per minute, that is pretty much impossible....I'm around sixty-seventy, which is very fast.

@ 56 k: so tempting, but that would break the "original writing" rule.
