I think there's a large difference between posting here and on AIM (or other instant messengers). I've always been of a mind that this is a bulletin board, not a chat room; you're not on the spot to have a snappy conversation, so take the time to make a post that makes sense. Double check it; make sure it's easy to read. I, for one, don't need another reason for people to pass me over.

Honestly, if you learn to type correctly, it can be even faster. I know that if I want to type badly, I have to take 3-5 times as long to type everything, so it's fairly apparent to me that there's no difference in effort between bad typing and comprehensible typing worth skimping on. I could be completely off-base with this, but given that a lot of people learn different key layouts practically every day so they can play fifteen-and-a-half-billion different games on their computer, it seems like it shouldn't be that hard to learn things like the placement of the shift, period, comma, and quotation mark keys.

To put it simply: Anything worth doing is worth doing well. If it's not worth doing well, why bother to do it at all?
