Well, you know whata you gotta do after you harvest da cork? You gotta soaka da cork. My sister, Antoinette, she's a famous cork soaker.

That makes me wonder how they rate speed. Would WPM still work? Technically, you're going slower, but then again, each character/set of characters is a word.

And thanks to Chineasy, I recognized a tree back there!

I just learned more about the Chinese language in the last six minutes than I have in 20+ years. That was fantastic.

I love how the argument could swing both ways:

Oh? So it only increases your shooting time by .5 seconds? Then there isn't a reason NOT to do it either. If it isn't going to put you out, why the fuss? What do you care? There's no discernible difference, right?
