Used in a sentence: "You'd have thought that Mr. Putt would have taught us the random typing fact about stewardesses and lollipop(s), but yet I'm pretty sure that I learned about it firsthand just last week in one of the local bar rag papers full of random facts."
[YES ... this does look like Monday's post this week ... and YES ... there will be another one tomorrow that will look very similar.]
Of course, seeing as how I had my typing class long long ago (in the late eighties ... and YES I wear it as an "old folks" badge of honor that I spent time in high school learning how to type on an actual honest-to-goodness typewriter [an *electric* one, in case that was your next question]), there's a chance that I *did* learn how stewardesses is the longest word typed with ONLY the left hand ... and how lollipop is the longest word typed with ONLY the right one. If not, I know it now (and just marveled again at the fact as my fingers moved across the keys).
Well, "marveled" may be a strong word ... but you know what I mean.
