Joe's Typing Assignment #20 - Pet Peeves

Well, after a long hiatus, mostly procrastination coupled with life, I have finally got back to it.  So here we are, the entry to this month's JvC Typing Assignment.

If Joe ever reads this, let me just say thanks to him for putting these on, he gets only the satisfaction of reading the wide and varied submissions, and puts a lot of work into running this in addition to his 'Not a VLog' series among many other interests. 

If you haven't read or visited Joe's blog, please take a gander, the link is on the right of my blog here.

I used my Smith Corona Silent-Super in Desert Tan, one of the colour series that Smith Corona put out in competition to the Royal Quiet De Luxe.  While the Royal QDL's in colour are more expensive and collectible, you can still get almost all of the colours for much cheaper than their competitors.  And you can NEVER go wrong with a Smith Corona from this period, they are solid machines. 

And without further ado, my submission.

You can see above how the x,c,v keys sit lower than the others.

Mmmmm,  nothing like a segment to appeal to those of us who enjoy symmetry in mechanical devices
