lemme test something

I’m still on that same road trip car ride that brought you the previous four days worth of email. 


But the sun, rude as ever, didn’t halt its trek out west for my lowly benefit. 


Since spilling an entire glass of water (and a tiny cup of espresso) all over this here keyboard of mine, my keyboard backlight hasn’t worked. 


And since it’s dark in the car (and “illegal” to drive with the lghts on, so my parents said), I figured me and you would play a little game:


How good am I at typing without seeieng?


I’ve neever been the best “typist.” But I’m sure as shit bettere than most. 


But now I’m blinded. 


So, how many typos do you thnk this short email will have? 


I’m gonna leave all of them in. 


Yes, even ones where my keyboard double typees or refuses to type certain letters. (Which happens often, so it’s not fair, but alas, it’ll make the game more fun.) Howver, if Google Docs wants to autocorrect some of the words I type, then so bee it. It’s too hard to catch in real time. 


By this point you should havee a number in yoru head about how many typos this short email will have. 


So here’s what I want you to do:


  1. Hit reply with your guess right now

  2. Whoever guesses the cloest numbeer might just win someethng I have stored on my laptop


But - if you have an exact number, I’ll consider that cheating. 


So… 


Reply with your guess of how many tupos. 


And I’m gonna us ethos email to determine if a keyboard backlight is worth the few grand a new Macbook costs.
