    Annoying typists

    I'm wondering if I'm the only person who thinks this?

    I hate the way some people type. They sort of "strike" the key too loudly like they want everyone to know that they are typing so therefore must be being productive.

    Really effs me off. Also some people say Newcastle weird but I can't accurately describe what's wrong with how they say it, it is sort of said as all one word hurriedly and has their tone goes up ever so slightly when they speak the "castle" part....

        Geordies say NewCASSel, sounds correct to me.

        Here in Leeds people say 'because' like 'becoss' not 'becozz' - after 8 years it's starting to slightly fukn annoy me.

          That's why there is a campaign to have touch typing in schools to stop people doing this.

          Anyway if you learned to type on a manual typewriter you learnt the right pressure to press the keys but allowing you to type fast enough. (I actually learned to touch type on a keyboard.)

          Regional accents are great. You can spend hours taking the p*ss out of people and vice versa.

              But Newcastle *is* all one word. HTHBI... who am I kidding, it won't.

                    It sounds like you're referring to the way the people of Newcastle Upon Tyne say "Newcastle". As it's their town, they get to decide how it's pronounced
