    I took typing lessons back in the mid ‘90’s, which was VERY uncommon for teens to do. When we got the first online multiplayer games, they only had text chat. I certainly had the fastest, foulest mouth in chat 😂

      There we go!

      I spent more time socializing on World of Warcraft than actually leveling. Had lots of friends, and since been happily married to my best one!

      Touch typing skills were essential, especially mid-combat.

      …Or being the undiagnosed ADHD socialite I was, keeping like 8 running whisper and guild chats going in the game’s single chat window at once… 😂
