I certainly sympathize with any individual caught up in this mess and they shouldn't have to go through it. On the other hand, this game of cancellation is something universities have been happily playing.

There is no expectation of a character appearing on screen until the click. So the latency between key touch and click has no feel of latency to a person. The flip side is that there is no expectation of a character appearing until the cli
