Chatting is integral to building fast typing skills. (this includes msn group convos also)
Yeah! Only problem is that MSN chat ruins my need to correct my spelling since I just type half-word-half-jibberish now. I type very fast, but I make a lot of typos since in MSN I end up sounding like "oh my god whaht happen hahhshjdisfios homy oogd guys whaT?!" half the time.
You sound like fun to talk to.
I am! MSN group chats are the best because everyone is laughing so much that spelling becomes trivial. It's the language of bgfbhdfjfahhahahahaha.
