Pretty much all of the time I'm typing natural language (chat apps, emails, writing this comment here) I'm going to be limited more by my typing speed (~120WPM) than by the speed at which I can think of the words I want to type.
A pretty trivial demonstration of this is that I can talk much faster than I can type, and I would expect that you can too.
- Oreb 5y agoI can talk much faster than I can type, but I have much higher standards for precision and language quality when writing. When I write in natural language, I almost always carefully read through my message once or twice before sending. I don’t think doubling my typing speed (currently around 80 wpm, I guess) would save much time.
- gxs 5y agoThere's a time and place for everything. Sometimes that level of precision is required, sometimes it's not.
