Don't be, Red; you slim-fingered devil you. In the old, manual typewriter days, hitting side-by-side keys would result in only one, whichever got there first, getting typed, or a jam of the typebars with nothing getting typed. Electrics were iffy, they'd either emulate the manuals, or go on strike. Disremember what selectrics and their ball did, USMC never gave me one, and by the time I went civvie, the old dedicated word-processors were the vogue in the beltway bandit world. It is only the modern computer keyboard which will slavishly put both of the characters your fat finger hits onto the screen/into the file. All hail IBM for this technodigital advance.
